TL:DR author's positing that despite the public narrative we (gen x and millenials) are mostly better off (especially financially) than prior generations and at least partly due to actions from boomers.

Thought this was an interesting read. I don't agree with all of the author's points but figured it would generate good discussion here.

Oh fuck off. This is yet another fucking "America is better" bullshit piece where the fact that 6 dudes have more money than God means we're all doing great! Nazis are back, racism boiling over again, mental health issues are off the charts, inequality is unmeasurable, bigotry is running wild and we're about to elect a twice impeached diaper full of shit who tried to overthrow the government AGAIN! God damn I'm tired of this spin shit where some dickhead writer at BIGBOXNEWS thinks because he bought a Tesla that we're all him.
