This: they will have no money. They’re spending it as fast as they can on their way out the door and what’s left will get consumed by medical bills as they stubbornly fight to stay alive into their 90's. Don’t ever expect to inherit anything from your boomer parents other than debt. 

The only thing that male, white, Baby Boomers have to be ashamed of is Donald Trump, he is one of us.

most of the boomer car’s that will come up for sale in the coming years are mostly just a giant Meh to me

Yes, boomers have fucked up a ton of shit, but so has every other generation fucked up something else.

Some Boomers can’t afford to retire and most of that’s because they aren’t savers and the 401K system that replaced pensions is designed to be inadequate. The ones that can afford expensive antique cars certainly can, though. But they won’t because they’re greedy and see Gordon Gecko as the ultimate role model. 

I hear you. I’m one of the older and luckier Gen X (born in 1970) and I’m doing...ok. Just ok. I’m better off than most because I started a family very late and bought a house after the subprime scandal tanked the market. I don’t regard it as an investment because I fully expect the corrupt fucks on Wall Street to

You are almost disturbingly wrong and ill-informed.

Sure, customers get to choose from the least worse of two monopolies for 95% of their travel options. Or, they can choose Delta for a $500 direct flight or choose a competitor for $450 and have three layovers because Delta controls the hubs and wants it that way. So much for your vaunted "free market."

Yeah, sure - she’s been on the news every night demanding a recount, hasn’t she?

Leaving aside the mechanical limitations of the brand (the same 4-sear capacity and shitty mileage as the military version with LESS off-road capability and overall utility!) the worst part about Himmer was the image. It just screams ‘trying too hard’ or ‘poser.’ The Hummer appealed to the asshole who not only had to

Hypocrisy is almost a defining conservative trait these days, isn't it?

Sorry, no. My dad had a 280ZX turbo and while it was a lovely car to drive in warm weather on dry streets, it was heavy, underpowered and thirsty. It handled like a greased puppy on a hardwood floor if there was the slightest bit of moisture on the road which made it a poor DD in Canada. Finally, it turned out to be

I love convertibles and I like the idea of 4wd. I also need to be able to transport my wife and daughter all together every once in a while, so 4-seat convertibles truly tickle my fancy. With all that said, are you out of your goddamn mind?

Explain to me again why sending a large creature with no weapon beyond teeth up against an army of zombies is a good idea? He doesn’t have dragonglass teeth, after all - WTF was he going to do when he got to the army of the dead? Knock them down so the horseback Dothraki COULDN’T reach them? Dumb. 

Yep, brand-new 65" 4K HDTV here and it looked like shit. I even adjusted everything perfectly and turned out all the lights in the room to get the brightest picture possible. At one point my wife showed me someone’s tweet saying “Did you see that? NO - I can’t see ANYTHING!” We could relate.

Oh good point: we’d SEEN a relatively ‘fresh’ zombie successfully restrained for weeks in a wooden box but suddenly a stone coffin isn’t able to hold a wizened, decayed skeleton one? Massive plot hole there. 

Yeah, WTF is up with Bran continuing to be totally useless here? You’d think the guy who can warg into anything in order to see everything would be a source of useful information on a nighttime battlefield covered in fog. But no, he just sat this one out. Thanks for nothing Bran!

I had some issues with that. We’ve seen fire work effectively against wights - even more effectively than against humans. If you smash a lamp on a human (as they did with the wight in the Lord Commander’s chambers way back in season one) the human will be burned, possibly even badly, but won’t die almost instantly.

Wasn’t there a female relative left? Of am I thinking of the lady bear warrior that died with Robb during the red wedding?

Shit, Jorah should have been dead from grayscale months ago and Beric is long dead in the books. Theon’s such a little prick that he should have been dead a year ago. Melisandre could easily have never been seen again and not been missed. The plot armor was incredibly strong here.
