You’re associating with the wrong “boomers.”
I’ve met many good ones. Nam vets mostly or in their circles. Practical guys who didn’t throw their parents wisdom out with the bathwater, but didn’t become hidebound either as technology changed. I’ve been illustrating the bad ones.
As I said in a earlier post, with any generation, 1/3 good, 1/3 mediocre or late bloomer, 1/3 bottom feeder or shiftless.
