It's not baby Boomers that's the problem, it's governments and it always has been... I see the younger end having more and more education, yet less and less common sense. They're unable to stand on their own two feet, unless they have dedicated parenting that sees through the scam. Tony Blair started this obsession with a university education, a carrot to dangle for the ambitious poor to see their children do better than themselves. Apprenticeships, somehow became worthless, frowned upon. The fake status of a degree being more important than the time served hands on experience in all our trades. The governments have been fake for some time, but it's only the last few years that we have had instant access to their wrongdoings through the internet. Thousands queue for The X Factor, yet seldom queue for a job, follow your dreams is the mantra of the day, following dreams often leads to disappointment. Boomers just got a job, did what it takes to pay bills and move forward . To be fair our choices for our disposable income were limited, as was the disposable income itself. We have been driven by the telly box to be consumers and the younger generation are the best consumers they've ever had. They've consumed so much saving for a deposit for a house is unthinkable. Why can't Nana just help set me up, maybe because when Nana was your age she was staying in , bored to death to save for her own house which she had the common sense to buy, despite being a factory worker! The young are captured to get the latest tech, the designer handbags, T shirts and beauty treatments of A list celebs. Single mums, with kids with different dads, claiming they're independent haven't noticed that the government has taken the role of the husband, as they fill in forms for benefits, housing and food and social services step in to manage any dysfunction. The role of the state has crept into the living rooms of Britain unnoticed by the bill payers who are too busy trying to pay increasing taxes, commodities and fines to realise the slaves of today are free range, with flat screen TVs, so show hosts keep their minds of the big stuff like where their taxes are heading, the truth about Ukraine, inflation, the real reason behind CBDC. The elite have been present steering the lives of Joe Public since The East India Trading Company ruled the waves. Now though it's different, it's in plain sight. It's bigger and more destructive than it's ever been. Now we must stop being consumers, now we must enter a dark age of less is more. No one wants this, people want to expand their lives, travel and choices not have them diminishing into 15 minute cities, where visiting a loved one on the wrong side of the divide just a few streets away incurred a special license or pass. The push to go all electric will result in power cuts that will be handled by your smart metre, less is more, less for us more for them! They even have the audacity to attend summits across the world, arrive in private jets and stay in luxurious hotels telling us to stop travelling. When I blogged in 22, that they'd ramp up the climate claptrap, I never anticipated it would be at this hysterical level, and it seems like a strain of the multifaceted common cold family, the Corona virus is always going to be at the top of the leader board for shaping our fears and behaviour, despite little evidence of it being anymore lethal than a bad flu. The most lethal thing to happen to us has been the lockdown and Matt Hancock's decision making, unless of course you're a Tory supporter fortunate enough to land a PPE contract that elevated you from a semi detached to a sprawling mansion. No the Boomers built the hospitals, schools, motorways , and the rest of the stuff we used to manufacture when we were a real nation, not a castrated island legislated to serve unsuitable bureaucrats in NGOs that no one voted for...this is not the fault of the boomers, it's politicians!
