> It’s a boomer world, you are just living in it. But finally, they're dying in it. Today the youngest boomers are 62 and the oldest are 80. Over the next two decades we will watch as their numbers finally wane, and hopefully with it the monopolizing stranglehold they have over society.

I hate how right this is. It’s been a boomer world since before I was born, and I’ve spent the past **4 decades** waiting for it to end already. Not only my generation, but the one before it and the two after have been completely passed over. Our elders are too busy being completely addled with their addiction to relevance and self-importance that they actually believe anyone younger than them is just a child that needs a firm hand and ‘tough love’ to ‘straighten them out’. ‘News reports’ like this further enforce this idea; the world is full of idiot kids that they, mighty boomers, need to stand in front of in order to ‘right the ship’. Apparently the world is going to hell in a hand basket kids, and the only way to fix it is to revert back to a world that makes those over 60 feel comfortable and righteous in.
