It’s never been a generational issue, it’s always been a class issue.

I agree with you that the hyperbolic assertion that “every person older than us caused these problems” is wrong. But I also disagree with you that this somehow forgives boomers.
Their largest cohorts left us a dumpster fire and they’re doing everything they can on their way out to keep it burning.
