justalurkr | Sassed by a Millennial

So, I got sassed by a Millennial for being a patronizing Baby Boomer. "When is the Baby Boom going to stop patronizing..."

Short answer? NEVER, YOU SLACKERS. Partly because we're assholes who suck all of the oxygen out of the generations around us & that's how we roll and partly because:

1. SLACKITVISM. We didn't have that option. You kids and your social media! If we wanted to get things done, we picked up a sign and risked fire hoses at least and Kent State at worst.

2. Speaking of getting things done, by this point in the Boom, we'd gotten 18 year olds the right to vote, made activating the Selective Service System (do you know what that even is without looking it up on your smart phone? Actually, boys probably do; sorry) the single least popular thing a politician could even contemplate so you'd have a choice about getting your narrow asses shot off in a stupid war, oh yeah! ended a stupid war and speaking of choice? fixed it so a coat hanger was something you hung up your coat with or used to unlock a car that had your keys in it.

You're welcome.

So, yeah. You Millennials are probably going to get patronized by the Boomers until we draw our final breaths.

At least it isn't the Greatest Generation riding your asses. That was no fun at all.
