They aren’t the greatest generation.
They are the most uneducated on a grand scale, as, I believe, they were the first generation to be publicly educated.
When they hit tough times, then dropped freedom in exchange for socialism so fast that we are still fighting the after-effects.

I’m not for knocking old folks, so I will leave it at that. If they were younger, I’d call them on their deeds, but no point in doing that now. Let them collect their social security checks (more unequal wealth distribution there) and die breathlessly unaware.

They destroyed us, making it permanent with the immigration act of 1965.

You are dead wrong on the most uneducated bit. They were far more knowledgeable than most of generation X in many important areas such as history. They may not have boasted of so many degrees but high school graduates were more than capable of doing many of the jobs that require a college degree now.
