So what you’re saying is it’s the greatest generations fault.

Boomer Derangement Syndrome is a helluva drug. The younger generations lack patience even though the boomers are currently dying off and the inheritance will be flowing. Stay in the basement, keep your mouth shut and wait your turn, or go out and make your own fortune.

You may have a point. We boomers seem to have raised a generation that won't take responsibility for anything; it's all the fault of boomers.
As was the "Great Society" and most of the social programs that people decry now. JFK and LBJ were in the Greatest Generation; FDR was in the Lost Generation and started us down the spiraling income tax world we are in now.
Not as much as you think. The beginning of the baby boom generation coincides with progress made in medicine that began to steeply decrease infant and childhood death rates, and the end of the baby boom generation neatly coincides with the advent of the availability of birth control pills. My parents were part of the silent generation, as were many of the later baby boomers.
Societal changes began in the Great Depression and escalated post-WW2. The full effects take decades to manifest. Ultimately, we each need to take responsibility for how we lead our lives. No generation is homogeneous..

hence why they had so many kids in the “Baby Boom” right?

He’s part of the Silent Generation, not the Greatest. Everybody forgets that generation between the Greatest and Boomers.

Shipping all US manufacturing jobs overseas? Macro and micro messaging and policies pushing younger generations to college. How about the national freaking debt?
Younger generation didn't want to work unless it's in air conditioning.
Weak minding people fall for messaging.
I like when people choose when to be concerned about the national debt.
Did I do it right?

Why can’t you zoomers figure it out?
The Boomers are not really to blame for society’s downfall since the 60s. They were the first generation to have to deal with birth control and its implications. Any other generation would have done the same they did: limit family size and get divorced.
But the Boomers are 10000000% to blame for the disastrous response to COVID. They let themselves be fear-mongered into screwing everyone younger than them.

I am curious…what do you find so wrong with this country today? I have never wanted to live anywhere else (and I don’t believe you do either).

Just googled it, six cups, too.

No seat belts, no airbags, high-compression V-8, and a few shots while doing 75 on bias-ply tires...

Dang, wish you were in charge of the country during Covid. We would've come out of it so much better. You seem real smart.

Also 2nd half of Boomers are different from 1st half. People from 1955 to 1961 never experienced taking a bath in grannies kitchen in a tub. They never knew a day without phones or tvs. They never knew outhouses during summer or winter.
