for every caricature of a successful Boomer that has made it there are scores of Boomers who were economically displaced between the '70's and '90's in the Rust Belt. You go back to Fort Dodge and aside from some farmers there ain't a single rich Boomer around and there are towns like that all over Iowa, Illinois, Ohio, Michigan, etc. The Boomers who cut the fuck out and moved to Denver, Salt Lake City, LA or Phoenix in the 80's when they closed the plant, those are the ones who lucked into one of the greatest lottery tickets in human history.

My brother and I are Gen X multi millionaires from a trailer park with a teen mom. We both know we are lucky as fuck. We both know we hit the fucking lottery. The Boomer who knew someone in Denver and bought a $69k house that is now worth $2 million thinks he's Warren Buffett but really he just got lucky as shit and is loaded with as much hubris as Potomac. I founded a business and took the lowest pay of anyone last year because I'm so god damned disgusted with the shit bombs the Boomers have left in legacy businesses and will not tolerate the condition in which the world is being left to the next generation. The social contract is completely fucked for the young bucks and as the Boomers die off they are going to leave Gen X with a powder keg of loser ass Millennials and Gen Z fucksticks who are going to vote us into a dystopian leftist regime that the West will not be able to vote its way out of. I don't like it one fucking bit and the retired Boomer is sitting here telling everyone how hard he worked because he put in a lot of hours when you add in the 2 martini lunches and gossip girl story time at the water cooler.
