TL:DR author's positing that despite the public narrative we (gen x and millenials) are mostly better off (especially financially) than prior generations and at least partly due to actions from boomers.

Thought this was an interesting read. I don't agree with all of the author's points but figured it would generate good discussion here.

Oh fuck off. This is yet another fucking "America is better" bullshit piece where the fact that 6 dudes have more money than God means we're all doing great! Nazis are back, racism boiling over again, mental health issues are off the charts, inequality is unmeasurable, bigotry is running wild and we're about to elect a twice impeached diaper full of shit who tried to overthrow the government AGAIN! God damn I'm tired of this spin shit where some dickhead writer at BIGBOXNEWS thinks because he bought a Tesla that we're all him.

Corporate media are going to keep gaslighting us about “the economy” for the next 10 months, because the presidential incumbent has put all his election campaign eggs in the Bidenomics basket.

Boomers voted to hyperinflate the national debt by voting for Ronald Reagan. Boomers voted to poison our culture with Reagan's glorification of greed whose ugly endgame was Convicted Sex Offender Treason Trump.
