"So yes, in 1982, boomers as a generation were struggling. But in 2024 they are not. They have immense wealth, plus social security is still solvent and medicare is actually functioning better than ever thanks to work on prescription drug prices and supplemental plans. They made it."

"They have immense wealth"  
I love the generalizations people make to justify their bigoted attitudes to others based on age. Seriously, you know there are boomers who live down the street from me in public housing or under the freeway bridge?  Just as there are millennials and people of all ages also suffering from poverty, racism, sexism and homophobia, among others.

I don't get how people who would never talk in stereotypes when it comes to race, gender, or sexual orientation somehow can't resist it when it comes to talking about people from other generations. Ageism - whether towards young or old people - is very much in fashion among some people.[/quote]
