They aren’t -completely- wrong. The boomers seriously screwed up some big things, starting with their education from kindergarten to women’s studies degrees that left them 160,000 in debt with no skill set.
I used to think we were giving the millenials the shaft but then I realized they are as much of if not more of the problem than we are.
I would say the Boomers and all those generations after around 1900 blew it. We are reaping the whirlwind now. But I believe God’s grace and mercy is at work to reverse a lot of this for the next few decades before Christ comes for his saints and it all finally and suddenly comes crashing down.
As a 38 year old, from the end of Generation X, I have to say that the Millennials have no one to blame but themselves. No one forced them to take on so much debt for a sometimes useless college degree, and no one is forcing them to spend more than they earn.
What is “Axios?” How many people read it?
Who is the “silent generation”?
Hey! Eat your spinach and get back to your Diversity and White Privilege training.
Eventually you can turn them into Soylent Green.
Nothing new here. Kids in the 1920s blamed their parents for handing over a war-addled planet. The snowflakes of today will create the socialist society they want and get to live in it, while blaming the rest of us for handing them a crippling national debt. They’ll be right about that.
Not my fault. Millennials could be boomers’ kids OR grandkids. Blame the hippies like Bill and Hillary.
Still, take some responsibility, kiddos.

If the Boomers are to blame why do THEY know how to change light bulbs whereas a poll of Millennials found many couldn’t?
The Boomers have lots of problems, but no generation is responsible for a later on being overrun with idiots. The kids did that to themselves.
millennials are actually different demographics from different eras.
One is the second baby boom (coming in after the baby bust of Gen-X between the 2 booms) and the other are today’s young turks like Hogg who have had NO war so lets drop this “inherited 2 wars” BS.
And 51 is NOT baby boom. 1967 is well into the baby bust (thanks abortion and the pill).
Here's some free advice:
- get a job...
- start paying off those loans which you freely signed up for...
- as for the wars, ninety-nine per cent of you live your lives with no effect from these wars so quit your bitching...
I’m a boomer.
Suck it up buttercup!
Instead of blaming the boomers, blame the 60’s.
Oh Gee, let’s all play the Blame Game!
Please.
Grow up and quit looking for excuses. Quit whining and make the best life for yourself that you can.
You want some cheese with that whine?
Meet another one who was a proud veteran of " The Abraham Lincoln Brigade ". All wars were bad unless they were in support of commies and socialists. That was him in a nutshell.
Let me fix the stupid “Why it matters” section. “Why it matters: The two generations are going to fight over who gets the most free stuff from the government, paid for by Generation X”
