Good! I am a mid-life Gen Xer and it’s not the fault of Gen Z that the world is fucked up beyond all recognition. The Boomer and older Gen Xers fucked it up for everybody.

That is somewhat true, but don’t let the class war turn into a generation war. Plenty of boomers are in rough straits for the same reasons as others.

Generation had a golden opportunity when their bargaining power was high in postwar economy, which they took advantage of for themselves and then locked away for future generations, basically winding the clock back to industrial revolution levels of power disbalance for the common worker.

They weren’t called the ‘me’ generation for nothing.
