Lucky for me my parents were both “I didn’t save anything for retirement, my kids will take care of me when I’m older”, so I don’t have to suffer through this.

    Good points. And that shift in paradigm may have been endurable, but Boomers simultaneously felt the need to castigate young people for not failing upwards, as they did, gaslighting multiple generations for being born into predatory systems that Baby Boomers ushered in.

    They voted against the betterment of others at every turn, while reaping the prosperity of their oversized influence for 50 years and then told their children and grandchildren (who, by and large, are MUCH better educated) that we are lazy and underachieving.

    They’re the worst generation in American history.
