If it's bad that the boomers want their money back, instead of just giving it up, then why complain that you are going to give yours up?

Didn’t say it’s bad for them to want their return. I would want the money too if I were them. I do want mine.
The difference is boomers paid in with the expectation of a certain return at retirement.
Millennials pay in knowing that we will never see that money again, or if we do, the purchasing power will buy a bag of chips.
What was the purpose of writing that they demand their money, and "hands off our SS"? with "lmao" at the end?
If boomers aren't part of the issue, then why mention them at all?
I assumed it wouldn't be there for me when I was in high school in the 80's. That was just my own assumption from observation, not from any headlines or anything.
As I got older, I realized that the modern US is always at a deficit, and the Fed can print money, so there is no reason for SS checks to not be issued.
Every generation has complained that the checks they receive will be of a "same dollar amount, but lesser value". That's nothing new.
Does this mean your original note was the equivalent to "They weren't fed fear porn about their money, and I am!"?
Boomers are a huge part of the issue and to pretend they aren't is to delude yourself.
