This assumption is only correct if you assume itz exactly as difficult to enter a matured industry as it was when boomers entered the various industries.
In fact, it is significantly harder to bring new ideas to industries over a century old.
Its the same argument with illegals coming to the US with a welfare state already in place vs new immigrants that received no welfare and started industries.
Not to mention the layers and layers of bureaucratic nonsense and regulation boomers created over the years to gatekeep their industries.

What were housing prices like back then, paw-paw? They correlated to wages. Not too bright are you ?
Ha! The frick they did.
Average yearly salary in 1985: $23k
Average home price in 1985: $82k (12.4% IR)
3.6x yearly salary
Also the cost of everything else (food, gas, etc) was considerably cheaper.
Average yearly salary in 2025: $83k
Average home price in 2025: $417k (6.8% IR)
5x yearly salary

Do you think that they reaped the benefits of simply being born in a fortunate time and place, but also weren't really in charge of anything? That's how I see the Boomer generation (my parents).
They weren't in charge of the government in the 60s, 70s and 80s. That was people older than them. Bill Clinton was probably the start of the rising of Boomers in power.

Ok so more Macro level dribbling of BS from individuals who fail to look inward and figure how they need to improve their individual skill sets to advance their career.
