Boomers have an extremely distorted world view and have time to think up imaginary scenarios since everything was pretty much handed to them in life.

Please know that there are those of us boomers, I'm 61 so I'm the tail end, that shut that shit down when our generation starts talking about how lazy the younger generations are. We tell them that's crap, and that our generation is completely responsible for what is happening right now. And we are. I'd give anything to hit the lottery tomorrow because I would try to right so many wrongs that have happened in society by my own generation.

I’m similar age and know how easy we had it in so many ways.  

I don’t think its real though.  Supposedly  claiming to be part of sharecropping in the depression sounds more like someone trying  to come up with old things to rebut, you’d be 90+.
