[a fool in paradise]

The boom had stopped booming. Where you slice the "beginning" of the "bust" is open to interpretation.

You refuse to call 18-year olds and even 35 year olds adults. You slice it at 1984 before "the Baby Boom came of age".

I guess the 1970s were all a bad dream.

Argue with the government and society at large if you want to redefine boomer, don’t waste my time with your nonsense.
