As a genX with 3 boomer brothers I have watched this horror story play out across my life. I have hissyfitted, complained, explained, been ridiculed thousands of times and now vindicated. Into my 50s, with some help from psilocybin, I have only compassion for my bros; they operated within their cultural context, did their best, battled their demons. We were at the front of a war we didn’t know we were in. Victory is healing divisions, honest boundaries and kindling intergenerational connections.

The baby-boomer politicians, with the infinite money-printer at their disposal, have successfully created an economic system where their generation can run up the debt infinitely and pass the tab of responsibility forward to future generations, where the bomb of reality will explode once they are long gone.
To make matters worse, Big Gov orgs have gradually brainwashed the boomers OUT of the idea of passing the wealth they've acquired from riding the money-printer to their children as inheritance, convincing them that they should give their wealth BACK to the government through what they call "charities" instead.
Ultimately, young people will be left with absolutely nothing, and an enormous mess to clean up on top of it all.
So yeah...if you're a young person who's angry at the older generations for failing you, you have every right to be.
