That toy was dead. Jobs had been fired. It was the internet that saved that toy. Boomers are stupid they didn't know what to do with it. Gen-X did because we are simply better.
Guess what the taxpayers who paid those government workers' paychecks would have done with the money, had it not been taken from them? That's right...SPEND it.
Oh and the Apple is not the first PC. The first PC was invented by Xerox. Apple had to licence Xerox patents to make their version of the PC. The team a Xerox who made the Alto, the first PC, all silent generation. Boom there goes the dynamite More proof that boomers suck.
I am Gen-X. (*)(*)(*)(*) You is our motto. You don't really get it done you? We are not nice. We are not polite. We are punk, we are metal, we are grunge, we are gangsta rap. We don't care about your (*)(*)(*)(*)ing feelings. We simply get (*)(*)(*)(*) done. And we know for a fact that both boomers and melenials (*)(*)(*)(*)ing suck.
Oddly...tax cuts never have that effect. Sorry...that ship has sailed and sunk - - - Updated - - - I think you probably ought to speak for yourself there pal. Not all GenXers are (*)(*)(*)(*)(*)(*)(*)s. In fact I know many and none of them are
I didn't say we are (*)(*)(*)(*)(*)(*)(*)s we only bite back when spoiled Boomers and Melenials ask for it. We don't start fights we end them. And did you ever think that maybe most of your Gen-X friends don't act like true Gen-X is that true Gen-Xers don't like you on a personal level. Your circle of friends only says something about you no one else.
I won't even attempt to sort the logic of that idiocy out. You do have the corner on bombast though .You...not your generation.
As someone's ego is hurt. Haven't I humiliated you enough already. You are trying to argue computer technology with a computer engineer. You even thought that the Apple was the first PC, it wasn't. Face it boomers suck. They have road the backs of the two generations that came before and the one that did after. They ain't done (*)(*)(*)(*). Try and takr credit for the good thing the other generations did, like claiming that they invented the PC and Internet, because all they have ever been good at is running their (*)(*)(*)(*)ing mouths talking themselves up. This country would suck were it not for the silent generation and Gen-X. We've done pretty much everything since the greatest generation. Boomers and melenials are simply spoiled freeloaders.
The only function of government is to protect us from our enemies, both external and internal. Promoting welfare? Protecting us from corporations? There were no corporations when the Constitution was written. You need to take some history and government courses.
The only person you've humiliated is yourself but I doubt you have the self awareness to understand that. Carry on sweetie. - - - Updated - - - It's amazing what conservatives think they know and don't. Our Hidden History of Corporations in the United States When American colonists declared independence from England in 1776, they also freed themselves from control by English corporations that extracted their wealth and dominated trade. After fighting a revolution to end this exploitation, our country’s founders retained a healthy fear of corporate power and wisely limited corporations exclusively to a business role. Corporations were forbidden from attempting to influence elections, public policy, and other realms of civic society. Initially, the privilege of incorporation was granted selectively to enable activities that benefited the public, such as construction of roads or canals. Enabling shareholders to profit was seen as a means to that end. The states also imposed conditions (some of which remain on the books, though unused) like these*: ◾Corporate charters (licenses to exist) were granted for a limited time and could be revoked promptly for violating laws. ◾Corporations could engage only in activities necessary to fulfill their chartered purpose. ◾Corporations could not own stock in other corporations nor own any property that was not essential to fulfilling their chartered purpose. ◾Corporations were often terminated if they exceeded their authority or caused public harm. ◾Owners and managers were responsible for criminal acts committed on the job. ◾Corporations could not make any political or charitable contributions nor spend money to influence law-making. For 100 years after the American Revolution, legislators maintained tight controll of the corporate chartering process. Because of widespread public opposition, early legislators granted very few corporate charters, and only after debate. Citizens governed corporations by detailing operating conditions not just in charters but also in state constitutions and state laws. Incorporated businesses were prohibited from taking any action that legislators did not specifically allow.
If you think I give a (*)(*)(*)(*) about what you think of me as a person you are dead wrong. I couldn't care less about you. I have destroyed every false argument you nave made. Boomers invented the internet - false Boomers invented the PC - false You have jack (*)(*)(*)(*). Your only argument I'd 'Windigo's a meany'. I laugh at your tears.
So, I should be a gummy bear that loves everybody? I think that as long as I'd never hurt another soul(and I haven't), I can "hate"(have very little fond opinions) of anyone whom I wish. I think my fellow Millennial(s) are INDEED snow flakes. And it's something we've gotta overcome. I also admit to my own bias, I think I'm intellectually superior to most of my colleagues. As for BLM, can you really NOT hate them after seeing their ugly demonstrations on the streets? Did you take pride in the senseless shaming of Vietnam? They didn't sham Congress, they shamed our Vets and made them feel unwelcome to return home. This isn't about whether Vietnam was the right or wrong war(it wasn't), this is about class and dignity. BLM and other groups like it, insult America's class and dignity and are doing so more openly than at any other time.
Oh by the way. Tim Berners-Lee was the inventor of the Web browser. Born in 1955-a boomer Steve Wozniak-born in 1950-boomer. Go sit in the corner junior - - - Updated - - - I'm not making a value judgment on your hatred (or disrespect) of women, gays,blacks etc...just cataloguing it
illegal immigrants aren't taking good factory and construction jobs, they are being given them by the rich who use them for cheap labor instead of paying American's living wages for low skilled work. when Trump bans illegal immigrants with walls, he ought look for those rich guys who hire them too and not give them tax breaks for not hiring Americans.
Yes, I remember all those anti-corporate protests of the 1700's. The first "occupy" sit in of 1774 was a doozy. Governments have killed millions more than corporations. Government is the enemy, not private enterprise.
No facts (*)(*)(*)(*)ing do. Like the birthdates of the guys who actually invented the internet and the PC. You don't have a single (*)(*)(*)(*)ing fact just your feelings because you believe you are infallible. You can't point to anything the (*)(*)(*)(*)ing boomers have done very time you try you are wrong. As Gen-X I don't give a (*)(*)(*)(*) about your virtue signaling. Go cry.
You didn't mention anything about gays. I have no hate, or necessarily love for gays(I'm straight.) But my position is rather simple: Don't ruffle my feathers and I won't ruffle yours. You may in your interesting way view that as hatred, but whatever. And I have nothing against upper class Black Americans. Just the lower dregs on our society that continue to be violent parasites on the rest of us, including other minorities(Asian minorities to be specific)
Source? While you're finding one, here's a source that contradicts your claim: https://www.newyorkfed.org/medialibrary/media/research/current_issues/ci7-11.pdf
Dude...I don't know what your problem is but you have some serious issues. The inventor of the world wide web was born in 1955. That makes him a boomer. Steve Wozniak was born in 1950. That makes him a boomer. Steve Jobs was born around that same time. Do you even have a CLUE as to what you're talking about? - - - Updated - - - Ohhh I get it...the relatively small per centage of blacks who are suitably wealthy for you are fine...but you hate the rest of them. Nice.
Tax cuts don't create jobs. Sorry. We've had a 35 year experiment in that area and it's a dismal failure. http://www.usnews.com/opinion/blogs...wer-taxes-create-jobs-lets-look-at-the-states Clinton signed the "biggest tax increase in history" according to people like you and 20 million jobs were created on his watch Bush cut taxes...and a paltry 1 million jobs were created...all of them government jobs by the way
Try spending a few days, if you have any sense of high value culture, you'll struggle to make it peacefully lol.
Your claim was that SPENDING creates demand which creates jobs. I just showed that tax cuts increase consumer spending, which you denied. If you now say that this increased spending doesn't create jobs, then the entire basis of your argument is invalidated and you have refuted yourself.
