They had it so easy, they were lulled in to unawareness.

Also though, the most powerful people did all this, not the boomers. The boomers were just tricked in to it. There's plenty of blame to go around, but generational warfare is a divide-and-conquer tactic to keep people from going after those who actually stole billions and started wars.

    Remember though that that rigidity or kneejerk thinking is equally responsible for why things don't change where you're from. Current gen in charge always think they got things sussed
