I've always pushed back against broad-based boomer hate.
I'd roughly guessed that it comes from all the horrible policy/political/demographic/economic changes that happened in their heyday/earlier-working-years, made to look worse by the fact that ignorance of those things was so much easier before the internet. We can't stop those decisions now, so why should I be mad at even-less-informed boomers for the same inability?
Basically, nope. We could get into questioning these data, but taking them as pretty much accurate, boomers really did become revealed-preference Ayn Rand disciples.
Well, I'll still always talk to anyone who wants to take any part of their head out of their ass, but this is kind of like seeing nog crime stats for the first time, damn. therightstuff.biz/2023/09/30/by-the-numbers-episode-twelve/
