>Stupid Boomer Things

Ageism is never a good look. There are smart and stupid people in every age group.

Doesn't matter. If a system's purpose is what it does, a people's priorities are what they invest in, in aggregate. Boomers hold outsize wealth and have steered America's economic and political ship for most of the lives of the younger generations. So the current crop of Stupid Things are mostly Stupid Boomer Things (or else they wouldn't exist, as there would be no money or political will to sustain them).

Refusing to take responsibility isn't a good look, either. So is derailing with respectability gripes. Let's solve the problem at hand.

    You want me to take responsibility for how other people in my age group vote (not that I am a boomer, I'm not)? That's your argument?

    Thanks but no thanks for this ridiculous comment thread.

      Yes. Or, rather, you already are responsible, commensurate with your level of wealth/social influence.
