      I wrote an eight paragraph response and then deleted it and condensed down the highlights.

      • Millennials and Gen Z have to pay many times over what it cost the Gen X for a quality education but they still have more than twice as many four year degree holders as Gen X had in their 30s.

      • The Boomers aren’t running anything anymore, they’re median age 66 ffs. Gen X are the new corporate overlords. Their first act as voters was either Reagan or Bush Sr, both of whom gutted most systems of oversight.

      • They’ve devoted their lives to sex, drugs, and alcohol.

      • They still share the boomer view on gender roles, that only men wear pants and go to work, that girls like pink and boys like blue. Anything outside of that very specific framework is viewed as creepy and immoral.

      In the nicest way possible, the world will be much better when Gen X is gone.
