""we've been being fucked by [the boomers] for years, and probably will continue to be for as long as they're kicking."

See, it's that kind of attitude that will keep our collective economic and cultural boot on your necks for as long as we have the demographic muscle to do so, lest you act out your accumulated grievances if ever permitted to stand upright (insert the ha-ha-just-kidding emoticon—I don't do emoticons—of your choice here if desired).

cordially,

Die Welt ist alles, was der Fall ist.
