As a late boomer myself my impression is that the earlier boomers got the party and we got the hangover: inflation, gas shortages, worse paying jobs, the leftist takeover of the Dem Party and media.

But we weren't spoiled the way many millennials and gen-z seem to be.

When I went away to college I came back one summer, when I went to fill up with gas the girl behind the counter lived just down the road from us. This was a college town with an Ivy League university where her father taught as a law professor.

Can anyone image a law professor's daughter working as a cashier for extra money at a gas station while in college these days? This wasn't unusual then.

I’m early Gen-X. We were mostly feral.
