Boomers should have though of the future of their children. Now they reap what they sowed.

I made a nextdoor account recently for my small business and one of the first posts I see is boomers decrying the closure of a small prop leaded plane toy airport closing to make way for apartments.
Wah traffic, Wah my homes value, Wah crime rates.
These people are fucking obsolete.
We have a new multi-block set of apartments going up in the suburb near me that they're doing the same about. It's going to ruin the town! It's going to lower property values! Won't someone think of the children?!
It was parking lots. It was just parking lots before. It was a place for commuters to drop their car and go into the city. I can't even with these people. The best part is that those apartments will probably bring in more tax revenue than their entire single-family subdivision!
Boomers should have thought of the shareholders.
That is, the kids they fucked over with their bullshit ideas and absolute misunderstanding of the world they created.
I'd love to be able to speak with my parents again, but (and I never thought I would ever say this, if you had asked me 10 years ago) I need to see some heads popping out of asses.
The diameter of that condom is huge....
That massive dong is probably another reason for the lack of grandchildren
"You should have kids so you'll have someone who will take care of you when you're older."
Bruh, I'm not subjecting a person to this godforsaken world so I can guilt trip them into babysitting me when I'm old and senile.
as someone who's parents' retirement plan was that - I absolutely agree. There's no way anyone should subject their kids to that level of guilt and stress.
Bring me behind the barn and shoot me dead instead. Less wasted oxygen, more food for the fauna.
Aww. Maybe if they didn’t spend their days treating their kids like their bank accounts and actually voted to help them afford things like housing and health care they’d have grandkids.
Instead they supported ghouls like trump and clinton instead of the guy who wanted to give everybody health care!
For some reason I'm not surprised about Facebook being explicitly boomer-centric
This is kind of whatever... partially a white people problem and partially just a result of later childbirth. White people are definitely having less kids, but that's not true for everyone.
Also by their 40s, something like 85% of children have had at least one child. People are having kids. Most people who are younger than 30 are astounded to realize just how many women do have children.
When they polled people aged 18-30 in the 90s and 2010s, and 2020s, the amount of people who said they would never have children is lower than now, but not by much. People change their mind and a significant amount of people do have children, especially if you're not white or Asian.
Regardless, people's choice. Whenever I see articles like this, it always seems kinda "Great Replacement Theory" adjacent. In my head I always put (white) in the title. I.e., a smaller percentage of (white) baby boomers have grandchildren.
