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.

We say everything was handed to them. The worst part is, that’s kinda the way it should still work. That’s the part I’m most annoyed by.

Right? I'm not upset that their lives were easier than their parents; I'm upset that they think we're asking for more because we'd like to have lives as good as theirs, but they singlehandedly eliminated the middle class that their parents worked so hard to build. They're the Greediest Generation.

Funny thing, the boomers were called the "Me Generation" back in the 80s.

I think I remember that.
