I understand the boomer meme, but not the assertion that it is reality.
My opinion of 'boomer' impacts are the result of the first large waves of divorce to affect america
https://divorce.lovetoknow.com/Historical_Divorce_Rate_Statistics what was the outcome? Family wealth was split with women, who then flushed it all down the toilet on stupid crap and men who were then blackpilled into not giving a crap about their own, or their children's futures. The couples that stayed married or were in 2nd marriages shifted a power balance where the husband had to placate the wife with spas, therapy, counselling, Oprah tickets and Mcmansions or else she would exercise her divorce right like her eat pray love friends. This generation of divorcees was especially dangerous as they had yet to see the effects. Millenials have witnessed the terrible parenting of single parent households and 'cool wine aunts' entering the winter of their lives bitter and alone.
Labeling anyone old, a boomer, and then writing off their opinions as irrelevant while asserting they destroyed the world is a dangerous and ignorant path. Its the same path 'boomers' took when they locked up their aging parents in old age homes, and ignored them.
The counter argument to "look at all of the bad stuff that happened corporately and politcally during the boomer's reign" can be countered with this point....there was no internet. If you were an assembly line worker at a GM plant your sources of information was televison news and a mainstream newspaper. Corrupt political deals, new laws, corrupt corporate schemes never even made it onto the radar unless you wanted to invest serious library and bookstore time researching them.
As for the boomers that are 'working too long and not retiring' I can tell you about the personal experience I had with boomers working way past retirement in the government. They were still working for one of two reasons.
1. They got divorced at some point in time and their ex wife has taken and burned half of their retirement so they have to build it all up again and work another 20 years to do so.
2. They have some adult child at home that is 30, still in college or has an NPC daughter with expensive tastes, while being a single mom or has a drug addict kid whom they had to take custody of their grand children from.
They aren't retired because some entitled woman or millenial kid is dragging them down. Its not because they love their job and want a new RV.
Even if you are right about boomers. "boomer reparations" are never going to happen. Move on. We're all in this together, pointing fingers at an entire generation is idiotic, especially a generation whose time is almost past. Unless you are going to be Jules Verne and invent a time machine to fix the past, suck it up and work on the future because thats all you've got.
