      Nah I think it was the silver spoon of the late-80s, early-90s economy being shoved up their ass.

      The few based Boomers that exist are mostly early Boomers, the Boomers we got today are late Boomers who came up when it looked like the American dream was paying off.

        Yeah Amerikkan boomers were born into probably the most uneven distribution of wealth in history. All of industrialized Europe was in rubble after the war and the US absorbed practically all of the old world empires.

        To act like boomers aren’t materially different from generations before and after is to deny reality.
