TBH I blame Gen X the most. Boomers are going extinct soon, Gen X at the oldest are about 60 or more.

This fucked up world is Gen X's world.

Ehh. They mostly rode the coattails of the boomers. I dunno if I can reasonably get angry at them for taking advantage of the opportunity that the boomers made for them to prosper.

It's the boomers that own, and frequently still run the companies that are ruining the economy. That's for fucking sure. Gen x just got a free ride.

Of all the people I know, the Gen x are the most likely to just be coasting through life because they were downright given all the opportunities and never really struggled for much.
