Boomers grew up in one of the most prosperous times in world history. They spent their days partying, and enjoying the fruits of their parents labor. Now, instead of quietly stepping aside and living out their golden days, they are determined to pretend they are also living in the "oh so important" days of a "deadly pandemic". Meanwhile, the US suicide rate has doubled, 40+ million Americans are out of jobs, and world hunger has DOUBLED. All this to feed the egos of aging self centered assholes. Corona is a boomer disease. Whenever I hear them spout their bullshit, I just say, "Okay doomer". We know masks are pretend protection for a pretend disease. Is is really just a LARP for faggots.
