I’m 33 years old, so I wouldn’t qualify as a boomer. While things are currently shitty, before Covid there was a huge opportunity for young people to get very rich, far richer than their boomer parents. I bought ten houses from 2015-2019 and never paid more than 80k for one; hell I even bought one for 30k. Even back then young people were bitching about not being able to buy a home, it’s bullshit. Boomers had to be raised by men who endured extreme trauma, and while they were great men, they had some serious issues they brought home from the war that their children had as a part of their lives. Then, these kids either felt pressure to live up to their fathers experiences of serving the country, or even worse got drafted to fight in a horrifying war where they did significantly more time in the field and under fire than those in the Second World War or Korea. When they got back they had a dogshit economy for the rest of the 70s and early 80s that is as bad as now. I am pissed about the way things are now, but it is frustrating to hear people bitch about boomers and act like their lives are somehow worse than those before them.
