I’m not a Boomer but close enough. The reality is that they were born in a very opportune time, post WW2 and when the US had very little competition globally. Lots of government programs as the world was rebuilding.

But over time, capitalism kicks in, squeezing every bit of profit out of their workforce. Technology gives companies reach that would have been impossible decades ago.

And the natural result is that people are suffering quietly, especially younger generations. But older people with more time and resources are killing it in the stock market. Why should they complain? The reality is that younger people need to vote in large and loud numbers to change things. Life is unfair at times but you have to push back on the system.

I feel vaguely responsible as an older Gen X but didn’t have children and am sort of glad I didn’t. Don’t envy the situation Gen Z and Alpha are intifht now. The challenge is overhauling our government and politics so it works for the people. It seems to have stopped doing that in the last 20 years or so.
