“Nobody is saying every single thing was easy for the Boomers - just that economic conditions were better for them ... That’s not their fault and its not a reason to blame them as the article did.”
Economic conditions were better for Boomers because they had a better work ethic. They were more ethical overall. They created their own good luck. “Blame” isn’t the right word. They get CREDIT for making good economic conditions; they were raised right.
I actually don’t disagree with you that the work ethic of Americans in general was better 50 years ago than it is now.
That said, I do disagree that they made all their own luck. They got some very favorable conditions presented to them that they didn’t make.
