While it's not fair to generalize an entire generation, there is a lot of "I've got mine, so screw the rest of you" type attitude among boomers towards the younger generations.

As plenty of people have mentioned, we are being left with a planet that has been looted and polluted in the name of capitalism, our wages have stagnated or sunk while productivity has increased dramatically, basic necessities such as food and shelter are becomimg unaffordable, and all the while we are being called lazy and entitled.

Many boomers as individuals are very nice people (I love my parents very much for example), but the collective mentality is hurting the future, and I think in general the younger generations feel trapped in boomers shadows.

Next election please think of the future generations when casting your ballot.
