      Who ruined the job market so both gen x parents had to work and then raised the gen z grandkids to be just like them. Shit apple doesn’t roll far from the shit tree.

        I’m really tired of this narrative. If you look at the prior two elections, boomers only voted conservative by a slight majority, and younger people only voted liberal by a slight majority. The difference isn’t stark. I’m a boomer, and me and my boomer friends are flaming liberals.

        There is evidence already coming in that Trump did very well this time with younger people. Stop putting all the blame on boomers.

      Eh… Look at what Norway did with oil in the late 60s and try and think about what boomers could have done in the USA if they had decided to adopt a similar plan. Norway, a country of 5 millions, owns 1.5% of the stock market!
