Now let’s compare the amount of overtime and extra shifts they pulled compared to millennials now

Anyone who actually believes boomers were much harder workers really doesn't have a clue.

It's a joke to suggest boomer overtime hours accounts for trillions in wealth disparities.

You also ignore global economic conditions that boomers benefited massively from and post-WW2 economic conditions.

There was a "boomer" generation worldwide, which not only created lots of workers, but lots of consumers for boomer business interests.

The boomers in the US had plenty of kids, the boomers in other countries did not. Part of the reason the global economy is going down is the lack of new workers and consumers to sustain the global economy. Luckily for the US the millennials will be able to consume enough to sustain this economy.

"The boomers just worked more hours!" Hilarious.
