    a world governed by increasingly fascist Boomers and elder GenXers

    Hey hey, take it easy on us gen xers. We tried mightily to bring change in the nineties and almost succeeded but ultimately failed. Nobody ever cared about us and now we’re just waiting to exit this mortal coil. We’re on your side, but we’re so very very tired.

      I mean, you guys were hopelessly outnumbered and trapped in a real nightmare machine.

      We millennials have the numbers, we’ve got a lot more of the money and the education. And what’s our excuse?

        Millennials do NOT have more money. We are one of the poorest and most educated generations, and that alone terrifies our government. That’s a very bad recipe - educated and poor.

        Boomers have the most wealth, followed by Gen X. Both have more wealth than Millennials, both present day and when they were our age. Our excuse is that we are extremely poor as a generation.
