It remains to be seen if Gen Y is going to reverse a decades-long trend of increasing wealth inequality. What magical properties are there within a set of people born between two arbitrarily-set years? When Gen Y becomes the wealthiest generation in history, are they going to be any different?
I have heard boomers making the very same kinds of remarks about their parents/grandparents being selfish, not thinking about the future, “working for The Man”, etc. And yet, now “boomer” is shorthand NOT for the 60s generation that worked to make things better via activism, but now, instead, it’s shorthand for something much, much different. And now I hear echoes in Gen Y when they talk about the boomers. Just sayin’ - seems I’ve heard this song before…
Yes, THIS. Thank you.
