    We should fix that.

    But, you know, after the boomers.

      In general the generartion did not use their political power wisely but many good individuals will suffer. As will the ensuing generations if and until it gets fixed.

        Yes, but once they’re dead the rest of the world can improve themselves dramatically.

        They screamed loudly about hating socialized medicine, they claimed it was the ultimate evil while enjoying their own medicare:

          unfortunately I have seen members of my own generation act the same way. If things are going right for them its all other people just aren’t wroking hard enough or something and if things go bad its suddenly why doesn’t our society help folks like me. its crazy but it won’t end with the boomers.

            People have been underestimating the scale of Boomers for decades. As a cohort, they have had an outsized gravity on…EVERYTHING.

            So it’s not just their innately selfish decision-making (although that is well documented going back decades), but moreso that there are simply so damned many of them, bumbling around and shit-Midas-ing everything they touch. It’s been impossible, until Millennials, to even push back. And yet here we are, 20 years after OG Millennials became adults, and we are still despairing under the pure dead-weight of overpopulated and obstinate Boomers.
