Disappointed to see ageism here. Boomers get such hate even though they invented gay people and music. My last remote manager was a millenial, he sucked.
Oh please. Boomers as a cohort have earned the enmity. They stole the economic welfare of their children and children's children while hoarding resources and lavishing themselves at every turn. Gen X, Millennials, and Gen Z have all been sacrificed on the altar of Boomer prosperity. All the while, they made sure that the ladders they used to gain a foothold in upward mobility were immediately pulled up afterwards.
The last 40 years of decline is directly attributable to the choices and votes of Boomers, who, because of their enormous population size, have had an outsized influence on all aspects of American development.
Right ... except for all of the poor Boomers out there ... let's just forget about them. Let's forget about all the Boomers who tried very hard to stop the wealth shift to the rich. They don't count; they don't exist.
If you'll excuse some whataboutism, I feel like Gen X-Z are all doing the exact same thing. In Canada, the conservative party is propped up on gen Z voters. (Americans, please note that blue=conservative party.)
Edit: downvoters apparently don't believe me. 338 poll.
OK Boomer.
I had to.
Don't you dare call me a boomer, I would never be that old in a million years. I'm incensed.
And who taught him to be that way? That's right, boomer parents
