"There is a particular group or demographic of folks that are controlling, buying, selling the majority percentage, 40% in fact of all the real estate in America. That group of people are known as the 'baby boomers"."
Another ignorant bigot against the "Boomers". Here's a few facts from the ACTUAL history:
1. The "Boomers" are not a monolith --
2. The "Boomers" got the US out of Vietnam.
3. The "Boomers" got criminals Agnew and Nixon.
4. The "Boomers" ended the draft -- so you didn't have to suffer the Damocles anxiety of being eligible for the draft during wartime, theefore not being free to plan a future.
5. The "Boomers" mainstreamed the ecology/environmental movement. In fact, as a "Boomer," I learned in 8th grade science in the early 1960s about climate change. Look at the frequent flooding of the streets in Miami, Florida: that is the result of CLIMATE CHANGE, which is FACT, NOT "hoax," regardless the LYING by the Republicans.
6. We "Boomers" didn't reject the experience, knowledge, and wisdom of our elders: we were inspired by Pediatrician Dr. Benjamin Spock, who was opposed to nukes because of the discovery of plutonium in mother's milk during the 1950s. And by Harvard Professor Dr. George Wald, also in his 80s, who was a leader in the ecology/environmental movement. In short: knowledge of the facts of climate change, and of the dangers of pollution, and of the environmental movement, began during the 1950s.
Those are a few facts of history. But perhaps before you learn more of those you first learn how to distinguish between fact, on one hand, and on the other, fact-free bullshit. Here's a first clue: an "opinion" has a chance of being true. A falsehood, because false, can't be true, therefore cannot be an "opinion".
The freedom to believe "anything you want" is limited by the responsibility to ensure that your beliefs are true, not just any old thing just because you WANT to believe it. A false belief is false regardless how passionately you believe it.
