Gen X seems to be doing fine to me. The ones I hear that are moving back home, are Gen Z and younger millennials, and I still wouldn’t blame that on their parents.

It's the parents responsibility to both ensure their children's future is bright and also to ensure the health of the economy through proper policy promoting and hard work.

Boomers have clearly and utterly failed. Few generations if any of humanity have ever had so much and shown so little for it. This means that boomers are among some of the worst humans to ever exist.

Well, that is certainly your opinion and will agree to disagree.

It's not my opinion, it's literally objective statistics.

I meant about it being the parent’s responsibility.

I don't understand how you can believe that. So you're saying that people who have control of something are not responsible for how they exercise that control?

To a degree, yes. You’re assuming everyone who had control of something, were also parents. My parents are boomers and I can assure you that they had nothing to do with making future generation’s lives worse than theirs.

Personally, I think it has to do with work ethic.

Your parents also had nothing to do with making future generations' lives better, which is the responsibility of every human. Or if they did, they utterly failed. They might have made your life better, but even murderers and animals have the sense to do that.

Work ethic is just small a part of the picture. Obviously, however, generalizations are imprecise.
