Baby Boomers started it all with the acceptance of neo-liberalism and the shipping of jobs to China and the erosion of their own idealism. Their grandchildren have inherited an appalling system. 2008 was the greatest crash since the great depression, yet more jobs were shipped to China, student debt continued to rise, service sector jobs became the norm and kids couldn't afford to leave home until the age of 35. Meanwhile government debt has risen to something like 20 trillion and then all the unfunded liabilities make it something that could extend to the nearest galaxy meaning the grandkids of todays kids are further enslaved. Oh, and the super rich have doubled their wealth while the poor have continued to get poorer. And people wonder why kids today want a system with a bit of socialism and humanity attached to it? No, the people born post WW2 got sloppy and they stopped paying attention and now the shit is hitting the fan. All societies become decadent and fail and now it is America's turn and the kids are just trying to stay afloat on a sinking ship. Best to let it sink because the kids can swim to shore and build a new one. The baby boomers are done and good riddance.
