Sure, sure it’s the “boomers” fault, not the fault of countless corporations. I’ll bet people are pretty much as damaging as they were four decades ago.
The boomers have held the levers of power longer than any other generation, at least in America. It is their fault because they run the companies and they run the government.
Why does everyone take statements about a population and then try to use a specific example to disprove it?
I’m talking about generalities. Look at who the majority of boomers vote for. Spoiler, it’s not democrats. I don’t know your grandpa. I don’t know what anyone’s grandpa did. But collectively, generally speaking, the stats say our grandpa’s share blame for voting R for decades and at the very least, for voting for corpo neolibs every primary.
Because hey, guess what, it’s not the new generations that have the highest participation in primary votes.
Good point, but we’re letting them do it? We know better and we’re allowing it. Or, when it gets pointed out next that no party is offering to actually fix it, is it still their fault?

What generation was it that invented leaded gasoline and put asbestos in everything knowing the negative effects even then, again? 🤔
Oh yeah… The Greatest Generation. Boomers just wanna be like their grandparents.
The “Greatest Generation” are the parents of Boomers.
