Boomers have been in control for a long time. They are dying now thankfully. Gen X is just now up and most of us aren’t dipshits…

Ehh I’d say quite a good amount of Gen X are like “Boomer-Lite” in how they act and live, if not full on Boomers. Especially the earlier half of the generation.

Yeah, we seem to have split into either "boomer-like" or "millennial-like" groups.

Boomers have been the public face of the regime ran by the silent generation owners and their crotch fruit.

It is changing now as tech daddies and other newer oligarchs are taking over, who are mostly boomer.

Gen X sold out in my personal experience at least the ones who got out of middle management. They act just like boomers, it is their turn to get paid.
