Boomers like fantasizing aloud that they're the executioner, legit or vigilante, for a murderer, terrorist or child molester, or really anyone. They preface it with huge red flags like "I'm a peaceful person but..." and then go off describing vicious killing with an unsettling glee. I think the absolute worst I've ever seen in my dad is when he'd get angry about teenagers near his house and go off on "following that little *$#%+ home with my bat!". If you're constantly worried about others "requiring" your violent correction guess what? You're the one in the neighborhood to worry about being violent, not the 12 year old who dares read in public.

Vigilante "justice" is nothing new but boomers have emotional, misremembered moments from movies and TV shows instead of real-world ethics and morality lessons, so the lie of white-hat lynching being a force for good persists in their black and white cowboy movie brains.

Like yeah, fucker, it's called the second law of thermodynamics (probably, I'm not a scientist) and maybe you should consider living in a less pointlessly massive house you rear end in a top hat I live in Vermont, work from home, and with seasonal air conditioners, I think my worst electrical bill in the summer has been around $170 a month. When I lived in Colorado, considerably warmer in the summer, my use of central AC caused maybe a high of $250. Last year I talked to a friend who lives in Arizona told me that it cost around $700 a month to keep her place air conditioned in the summer.

Speaking of McMansions, we are at the point in time right now (well, it's been ongoing since 2010) where the older end of the Boomers are heading into retirement. So we are having stuff happening like ugly McMansions with double-decker garages, hulk-sized RVs in community campgrounds and tourists sites talking capacity limits because Boomer tourists clog them up and piss off locals. It's going to get worse in the 2020s when those born in the 1950s (the largest chunk of them) are going to be retiring.

Basically it makes you an enormous piece of boomer poo poo?? Other than that, though, nothing. If people had the grace to be ashamed at their rapacious greed, this country would be a much better place to live. But they don't, and it isn't. I suspect Boomers played a role in that although certainly they aren't the only ones.

The waste/impact to the environment from housing is greatly exaggerated. Home purchases are a major driver of our economy so we'd all be worse off if people weren't buying them. One of those things that's not so simple to hate on.

Boomers buy in to the unwalkable, cookie cutter, sprawled, wasteful, cultureless, HOA'd up the rear end , car centric subdivision hell of 20th century design and we should all be doing our utmost to show it the door.

Millennials will buy big houses too as soon as they pay off all their student loans or they inherit them from their dead Boomer parents. It’s tough to tell what terrible habits are Boomer-centric or just age-centric.
