Why do you think boomers are the only demographic that actually like jeets? Who do you think is signing off on all those H1 visas? TBD cannot come soon enough.
Doubtless he wanted top dollar for them. I’ve tried to buy stuff from boomers before (you know the type of stuff — extra tables and chairs sitting in their garages, old musical instruments or camera equipment that’s gone unused for 50 years, etc) and I’ve had them be SOOO offended and refuse to negotiate.
Sir, it’s literal trash. You’re not going to get the money you want from it. Instead, your descendants will have to haul it to the dump when you’re dead.
He was “desperate” when he offered them to me at the price he paid for them. I still declined.
Boomers assume everything they buy is an appreciable asset. So he intended to offload these liabilities off on people as a profit to him. Like you said, anything that wasn’t a nice profit was offensive to him. Nobody took him up on it because you can just buy these things new.
We discussed boomer heirlooms and keepsakes here before. As pointed out, we don’t have the room to buy a bunch of stupid shit. The era of finding a glass coke bottle from your depression era parents and then selling it for $100 or whatever is over. Mass manufactured fine china from 1955 is not worth thousands of dollars, it’s some shit that millennials and zoomers don’t have room in their efficiency apartments for. Boomers wanted high property prices because their houses is their nest egg, these are the consequences.
We were contracted for two days, so you're paying us for two days. I mean, we can come back here and stare at you for another 4 hours if that makes you feel better.
They believe that all work payments are based on hourly wage rather than a contracted price whenever it's convenient for them. It blows my mind how retarded they are when it comes to money, yet they somehow have the most wealth.
Ah yes, the dumbest federal program in history. It's not like people really needed these old cars that we're affordable and could be fixed with simpler parts or taking parts from other cars and putting them all together. And since this was during the late 2000s, this was made by Boomers in government, so yes, Boomers technically ruined the used car market.
I wonder if that mentality has to do with the homes many of them were essentially given for free and are now worth millions?
A little back story on how my boomer dad came to end up living with me part time. He had a house, basically given to him by his mom when he knocked my mom up pretty much exactly 50 years ago to the day. I suspect I was conceived during the 200th US Independence Day celebrations. If there's one thing we know about boomers is they love a good booze filled party. Anyway, this house was purchased by his mother for just under $40k. She signed it over to him after making several years of the payments and he took over the remainder. I don't know how much was still owed on the mortgage but it wasn't a lot.
Towards the end of 2024 he was here visiting us and a water pipe froze in his house causing catastrophic damage. The house had already fallen into major disrepair with failing plumbing, electrical, and it was filled to the brim with various collections of crap. I think he had about 7 TVs, 3 washing machines, and a ton of car parts, and he never threw out a piece of mail. EVER. I drove him home to assess the damage. It was determined to be unfixable so the house was sold to an investor for $265k. Basically a free house for him and he made that much money on it. Yeah, he thinks he's pretty dang smart. If he had maintained the house it would've been worth over $500k.
Fast forward to present day. We are struggling to make our own mortgage payment, put food on the table for our kids, and we just had to fix a leaking roof which was very expensive. He's been here for a month. Hasn't paid us a dime. He told me he didn't think the roof leak was that serious of a problem and was shocked when he asked and I told him how much it cost to fix.
No parents of mine helped me acquire a house. It took until I was 44 years old to be able to afford it. We already struggle each month and he has no problem being a freeloader also while judging us for fixing or maintaining our house so it doesn't end up in the unlivable state his house was in.
Their mentality is absolutely screwed up. I have been considering the theory that their generation is majorly brain damaged by lead poisoning. Because nothing about their mentality or priorities makes any sense.
I had one get physical with me a year or so back. There is some level of delusion for someone to strike me first, then when I tried to walk away this faggot's screaming "where ya goin?!" at the top of his lungs. Get right in my face, then proceed to shut up as I have him pinned to the fucking floor about a minute later. all while he's screaming "It was self defense" like the spoiled manbaby he was. I genuinely hope that faggot learned his lesson.
A lot of this shit will crash and burn for one simple reason: millennials and zoomers don’t have the space to accommodate collections. The “own nothing and be happy” consensus means you’re not going to have garage space for classic cars, den space for guns, etc. A lot of boomer keepsakes will end up in the landfill.
I have met boomers that never understand the resale market. One tried to shout me down at a flea market because they wanted me to buy a bunch of mass market paperbacks at a price that was too high for the condition they were in. Edgar Rice Burroughs ones that were worn out. Not scarce stuff. But nice covers by Frazetta and etc. If in pristine condition, I could have seen someone paying the price they were asking (10 bucks a piece, whole set of Tarzans, Barsooms, and Venus books). But given they had a lot of condition issues, I was trying to get them for way way less.
The boomer started talking about punching me for trying to haggle and I explained that the real appeal's going to be the cover art and condition, because ERB's stuff is mostly in public domain and easily accessed. I wanted the set as reading copies and offered $3 a piece. These were intact and I could maybe have gotten them to look nice on my shelf with a lot of repair work. But, hey, I guess the boomer "knew what he had".
And that was for small books that still have appeal, I can't fucking imagine boomers trying to resell shit like Elvis collectibles.
This guy bought his toys and then never used them. He bought this monster RV for $400k over a decade ago. He initially tried selling it for a profit, like $500k or some shit, because he only used it once or twice a year. By the time he asked me it was “only” the original amount he paid for it. He was never able to sell it so it just sits on his property. He does absolutely no maintenance so knows if the RV actually works these days. I would not trust it for any kind of extended trip, which is the purpose of having it to begin with. Nigger acted like he was losing his ass by selling it for the cost he bought it at.
Boomers don't have a good concept of the resale market and operate based on sensationalist gambles. I know a boomer that didn't understand that old tech doesn't mean it's inherently collectible.
This is what boomers have done to the price of land/housing in central Texas.
The house is an older artisan rustic style 1700 square foot home. Oh and the only trees in the property are what you see in the picture, the rest is literally just open field….
I’m curious to know what region(s) will be in vogue to move to after boomers die off and the boomertopia areas of Texas, Arizona, Florida, Tennesse, and North Carolina have gone to shit and are ghost towns inhabited by their now homeless millennial druggie kids who are now 60 And illegals.

No, this isn't a boomer thing. Boomers are the ones that adopted the Gillette cartridge razors, you know the ones that cost you 3 bucks per blade instead of 10 cents per blade which is the current price of a dual edge razor blade. Boomers are brainwashed into thinking that dual edge razors are inherently dangerous and the only purpose is for bipolar girls to slit their writs with. So they believed the gillette propaganda that we are on an eternal progress of technology and you need an increasingly expensive razor blade each time the Gillette patent expires while the dual edge still is remarkably effective and you simply need to learn how to lather and shave to use it.

Thats just a rule of life. You never get the money you put into it. Ever. Even if "they don't make em anymore." And 90% of the time with that, they don't make em because "they" have a better version now.

If you thought that was bad. There was a listing that sold a few months back that I can’t find where it was a 800 square foot “barndominium” on 20 acres.
The asking price was 815k. MAGABoomers with their 5$ million dollar investment portfolio buy these properties as their “Anti Nigger Shed” aka if shit ever hits the fan like in 2020 it’s their place to flee to.
Saint Fentanyl Floyd and the riots that ensured after his death is a big reason why land is so expensive.
Montana and Utah are already too expensive and mildly pozzed.
Nebraska, eastern Kansas, Missouri, northern Arkansas, central Oklahoma, and Iowa are gonna blow up. I think NW Arkansas is on track to be the next big thing like Nashville or Austin. Kansas City has changed rapidly in the last 15 years and they are putting in mass transit. Omaha is really developing as well. None of them feel "full" or too expensive but have all the big city amenities, so I think costal diaspora will settle for them and keep their momentum snowballing.
It's as pozzed as ever, with more niggers and illegals. Anyone from out of state moves to downtown KC and quickly regret it. Any with families move to the nicer suburbs but then do their best to ruin them as well because they're not as diverse as their hellhole they crawled away from. Property is overpriced because of these people and boomers are making a killing because of it.
I’ve talked about Boomer Optimism on KF before, mostly regarding this stat
In 1996, a poll by U.S. News and World Report reported that two-thirds of Americans believed that “the day is coming when top female athletes will beat top males.”
Anyway, a lot of public policy and just general behaviors by boomers start to make sense when you realize that they are delusional about basically everything.
Welcome and try to anssimilate every immigrant, even low IQ gangsters with PTSD? Sure why not!
Have transwomen play in the Olympics on women’s teams? I mean, all that’s holding “regular women” back is a bit of elbow grease!
I discussed this in another thread but a great example of boomer optimism is their entitlement to SSI. Like these niggas had such a good life they fully believe the government will follow thru on its promises.
Literally everyone under 50 is acting like social security will not be an viable retirement option because we've all been fucked up the ass by daddy government like ten times by now.
Boomer family member buys property
Boomer uses his rental and hosts 4th of july shit
One of the rooms gets bedbugs
Me, being an insect autist spots the signs immediately
Get scolded for getting the fuck out of there.
Post treatments and a year later I'm being slotted into the same FUCKING room
Entire caveat for me going was not getting that room
"It's not a big deal anon also I can't take that room I need uh uh uh better internet for work calls" type shit
Overhear this nigga telling his friends that I'm some autistic insect whisperer and we'll know the treatment worked if I don't have a fit
If there is a single mindset that defines the boomer it's exemplified by this. You have access to a bug nigga in a situation that calls for a bug nigga but actually deploying the bug-nigga symbol would cause a loss of Izzat so instead of asking me if I'd be willing to employ my skills and setting conditions I get treated like a soviet conscript clearing a mine field
probably the most far-reaching aspect of boomer optimism is them throwing religion out the window and adopting postmodern new age philosophy. then when the fabric of society slowly collapses they put their hands on their ears and go "la la la everythings fine everyone else is a whacko from violent video games/social media/patriarchy"
optimism itself isn't bad at all but in order to ride comfortably into the future you need a bedrock, a solid foundation to do so whether that be (1) heavy industry to make your technology, (2) good morals, worldview, & philosophy to design it, and (3) good social norms & monoculture so you can have a healthy society where people don't totally lose their shit like the incels of today. all 3 things have been done away with in 2026 america, and guess who did it (certain boomers & their millennial offspring). shit's fucked
Similarly, as an example you see incredibly similar strains of behavior in Millennial "progressive" types who are closing in on forty years old who only exist to harass Christians.
Im late but I think its an inherent problem within the worlds population of the last 50 years, to even see people as an Emmanuel Goldstein. Boomers and Millennials are more susceptible to this but its been a problem ever since WWII, to sort of seek Emmanuel Goldstein figures out of an anxiety that Hitler would come back. Although people would claim that its always been this way, it probably wasnt cause even enemies respected each other during WWI and before, they never saw the other as some evil to be vanquished but just people who get in our way, bretheren even, who get in our way. Idk if its a rhetoric thing as people tend to claim. Problems are complex, there are layers to issues and solutions are also complex. To simply scapegoat a group of people or one person as responsible for all the evils in the world, is stupid. There are people who do evil things but no evil people, if that makes sense. But I wouldnt expect nuance and mental complexity from a boomer, considering their heroes, like William F Buckley, have been some of the most dumbest motherfuckers Ive seen. And its funny to me personally that leftists who always advocate for complex or nuanced morality have an almost religious zeal and conviction on the idea of "evil" when it comes to certain groups of people, fully unaware that they are doing the thing. Theres a lot of thought paradigms like that we completely lost with the boomers, probably why we call it "the post war consensus".
Edit: I dont want to jewsperg too much here but a small example being modern antisemitism. Its not "Jews are all bad" or "Jews are inherently bad", we dont see jews as subhuman pieces of shit. Theres probably gradations within that but we dont see people as inherently evil, at least I dont, Im sure some people do. Its more a case of "Jews are overwhelmingly bad" and its a complex systemic issue with several reasons, not all being malicious and I think that kind of nuance isnt there. It also doesnt affect my behaviour, I dont let it cloud my judgement or affect my actions towards individuals.
Edit 2: I just want to clarify the stance on " people do evil but are not evil" statement cause it can be misinterpreted. Pedophiles, rapists, sadists and the like are obviously evil and evil people do exist but they're not megalomaniacal larger than life figures. They're your drunks who sit in bar corners after beating up the wife, the school teacher who has a phone full of panty shots or something like that, banality of evil. Likewise the nature of good and evil, despite being complex, is very simple from a prescriptive perspective. If you do a wrong thing with full knowledge and awareness, you're probably evil or stupid and should be shunned/punished. Same for good. Whole lotta conversations to be had about this but the point being there was no large scale villanization of individuals for five minute hates in a bid to appear morally virtuous. I should've probably phrased it a bit better.
