Who do you think built Crypto? The millennials were the ones building everything in the last 10-20 years. Be sorry for the boomers. They built the infrastructure we stand on but tech has completely changed since they left the workforce.

And at least when the chase check glitch fad went around we recognized it immediately as a felony. Gen Z jumped right on that grenade.

And Gen X continues to disappear between the cracks. If it weren’t for movies made about us by Baby Boomers, nobody would even know we were here.

I thought about including Gen X but decided I wanted to continue the tradition. :)-

Boomers didn't build shit, they just pulled up ladders.

Don't confuse the politicians with the makers. They literally invented the entire backbone of the Internet.
