    Gen Y numbers are bigger right now, as a voting bloc.

    Also, Gen Y is poised to be the richest generation on record: https://fortune.com/2025/03/28/millennials-richest-generation-on-record-great-wealth-transfer-from-baby-boomers/

    I suspect all that wealth transfer may change…something…but I’m not in any way convinced that Gen Y is any better than the boomers, as a group. In fact, they have no real equivalent activism of the 60s generation from what I can tell. In fact, I’m almost certain Gen Y doesn’t have some magical quality that the boomers don’t and that they’ll make things better just by dint of being a different generation with all the wealth and all the numbers…I’d love to be proven wrong, though.
