At a retail business based in New York, managers were distressed to encounter young employees who wanted paid time off when coping with anxiety or period cramps. At a supplement company, a Gen Z worker questioned why she would be expected to clock in for a standard eight-hour day when she might get through her to-do list by the afternoon. At a biotech venture, entry-level staff members delegated tasks to the founder. And spanning sectors and start-ups, the youngest members of the work force have demanded what they see as a long overdue shift away from corporate neutrality toward a more open expression of values, whether through executives displaying their pronouns on Slack or putting out statements in support of the protests for Black Lives Matter.
I know generational politics is bad but boy oh boy did the boomers sacrifice their kids on the altar of capitalism for that middle class lifestyle.
Boomers are like the only actual generation that exists as a discrete phenomenon that can be observed and measured. Everything else is bullshit.
boomers are a creation that began with the boomer generation but whose specific type of brainworms will carry forward into the future for a long time. it's like a new strain of the same old settler-colonialist brainworms, and it will be around as long as the system that incentivizes those beliefs is still in power.
This critique of the Boomers at least has a grain of material basis to it, unlike the slop they print in the media about Millenials ruining the housing market by buying too many lattes. It still lets the real criminals off the hook though. Flogging the Boomers won't put Bezos's head on a pike.
No it won't and we can't forget that there's poor boomers too, like my mom for example. It's just as a whole generational class, boomers by and large are absolute scumbags will to sell their own children up the river.
They might be the first generation in human history to not only NOT work to make things better for younger generations, but to actively make future generations worse off because "muh no free ride"
Boomers have all the wealth. They are a class of their own. Generational politics is solidly a thing now. Marx may have said this or that about it but that was hundreds of years ago.
Boomers have to go and we are apporaching a point where it might have to be by force.
way past that point, in my opinion
