Never, ever, imagine for one second that a single drop of all the intergenerational hate directed at the Boomers is unjustified. Frankly, at this point, I’m a little shocked that they’re not all being forcibly euthanized for their assets while any still remain.

Boomer w/ a 60s Fender guitar: “Cost me $383. My grandkids can fight over it when I’m gone.”
Appraiser: “This guitar is worth about $12,000.
Boomer boomingly: “Weh-heh-hell! I guess the grandkids won’t be getting it!”
They aborted their children and bankrupted their grandchildren, and remain proud of their philosophy, their behavior and their self-identification to this day. On the plus side, we now understand why the Israelites were not allowed to enter the Promised Land until every member of the wicked generation had died off. The New Testament is perfectly clear on how this all-too-typical Boomer behavior is “worse than an infidel”.
And if you’re a Boomer who is behaving like every normal generation previously did and leaving your children and grandchlldren better off than you were, do try to keep in mind that this is what everyone was always supposed to do!
