    A race to see which happens first: Boomers dying off or irreversible global climate catastrophe. Place your bets.

      The problem is there are plenty of ass hole genX that took all the wrong lessons from the Boomers.

      I fear that the lauded “Boomers dead golden age” just leaves a bunch of bitter latch-key genX that want to “get theirs” because daddy wasn’t around enough.

        There will be but the millennials outnumber them so readily and are much more apt to have the gumption to affect change without Gen X.

          As if there aren’t plenty of asshole millenials and gen zs. It is not a thing that dies out with generations, otherwise it would have died off a million years ago. It perpetuates itself through societal and structural conditions.
