Talking politics over the breakfast or dinner table may not be the best idea when you’re at your parents’ house. But many of us did, and burnt and promised ourselves this would not happen again until the next time we ate together. Christmas holidays are notorious for this kind of thing, and I'll just leave it there to not put salt on the wound.
But recently, the Redditor The_regal_retard posted a pretty surprising opinion her 72-year-old dad, who's a retired school teacher, shared with her one morning. Captioned with the headline “My boomer dad shared his unsolicited view on labor issues in the US at breakfast this morning,” her post went viral, immediately amassing 21.2k upvotes.
And taking the generational differences into account, you would have never expected the “baby boomer” to share similar views with millennials. This story may well show how much prejudice we have when judging others’ views before even giving them a chance to be listened to. Read on for the full post below, which will give us all some illuminating thoughts to reflect upon.
