Middle-Range Baby Boomer here (67, born in 1956). I agree with much of your vindictive against Baby Boomers, but I I think you need to refine your "generational needle" a little. My father was born in 1928 (a "Silent") so he was 17 and just on the cusp of adulthood when WWII ended in 1945. 1945--1970 are considered the "Golden--once in a thousand years-Period" in the US. So all his 20s and 30s were bathed in glorious United States 1950s/1960s economic development and opportunity. However for me--in the last year of the boom period--1969--I was 13 years old!
My father was a nice and outstanding man, and contributed greatly to his family and society, but I think in being born in 1928 he was born the best possible year in US history. After 1928 each successive year the opportunities in the US decreased. So the "Early Boomers" were a little worse off than the "Silents"; the "Late Boomers" a little worse off than the "Early Boomers." And each successive generation was increasingly worse off--"Generation X"; "Millennials"; "Z-ers"; Alphas . . . The Baby Boomers don't hold all the blame. The "Silents" and "The Greatest Generation" hold some too.
It isn't much funner farther out here in the fucking west; boomers being what they are will only hire foreigners or will refuse to pay you for your work. Their love of slave-labour (foreign and domestic) is utterly reprehensible so that the choice for some of us in North-America is; debt & welfare or starvation.
Honestly, when the Boomers are gone, I honest to God hope that their Diversity, Inclusion, Exclusion and other hiring policies and shit die. Maybe we ought to repeal all the laws passed during their times or something as they don't seem to have had any positive effects either.
