Also, I don’t see all that much difference in boomer attitudes than some of the ones I see/saw in the Silent Generation and the “Greatest” Generation when it comes to at least a subset of them being very conservative and selfish in older age.
Ever since I can remember, I’d hear those from the boomer generation say similar things about older generations, both in TV/movies, and IRL.
What will be different about Gen Y once they become the wealthiest generation in history? Is there some latent difference there which will be unleashed that will reverse the extreme wealth inequality that has been ramping up throughout the decades?
Not sure if you are laughing because you expect it to be no different than prior generations or if you didn’t know they are set to become the richest generation in history?
Wasn’t there just an article about Gen X folks being a significant part of the reason trump won the vote? I don’t think we’re heading anywhere good just by generation trends.
Yeah, I didn’t love seeing people in my “generation” trending toward the cons. I think it tends to happen with every generation, unfortunately. Well, at least so far. We’ll see what kind of disruptions there are on the horizon.
The Great Wealth Transfer is under way, and I’ve read that Gen Y is poised to become the wealthiest generation in history. Will they be any different than the boomers or the Silent Generation or the Greatest Generation? (I’m Gen X; we are used to being ignored and sidelined at nearly every turn, lol) What will they do with all that wealth? Do they, by dint of being born between two arbitrary years, have some magical property other generations don’t?
Not all boomers.

No, but enough of them to remove most of the ladder rungs for anyone after the.
Yeah… it’s s vast majority

Time will tell, I guess.

Well, they can’t take it with them.
