I am boomer, but I would have to agree with you. The people at the national level of politics and top management of fortune 500 financial institutions are at least my age. It is fairly obvious they had no idea WTF was going on.
It’s been going on awhile. FDR was my great-grandmother’s generation and they had theirs too. Won’t put it all on the boomers.
There are in reality alot of good boomers who work harder than hell. And I’ve heard them venting about their own peers. Since times got easier after WWII it’s easier to slack and a percentage of people of every generation have done so.
