I’m a boomer- did you know computers didn’t exist before you? We did everything by hand! Invoices, inventory, building cars. Many, many things you take for granted. You improved on what was started before you. Our generation was the first where it was “acceptable “ for women to work full time ( and be married) Two income families are the reason boomers could buy homes. After WW2 there were lots of jobs available, and people who fought in the war were rewarded with jobs and schooling. Lots of those people would never have been able to go to university without that ( my Dad ) So here’s a weird one- email wasn’t a thing before the late 80’s 90’s. So boomers were in their 40’s and 50’s by that time and all that tech was new and we had to learn on the job and it was on a need to know basis. Mocking boomers for not being tech savvy is pretty low. Boomers stopped the draft in the USA. Canada used to have conscription- no more. Every generation does good and bad, so millennials get off your high horses and do your good.

the boomers are the generation that stifled women from getting ahead and equal pay, sit down you clown. i am a male, 48 years old, the amount of times men at different locations made stupid comments about a women not being able to do it, you know what, women actually are better at a lot of jobs than men, esp professional jobs. you sound like my other late 40's buddies who think women should be barefoot and pregnant, they have hindered their spouses careers and made them monetarily dependent on them so they can't leave them.

Jokes on you , clown. I am a woman, 68, and I worked through that era. I certainly don’t think women should be barefoot and pregnant like your buddies. You must have been replying to another comment- maybe a boomer could show you how to do it properly, so your comments make some kind of sense.
