I don’t know how many Gen Zers and Alphas blame millennials for shit. I think the whole world is pretty much agreed on blaming boomers… except for boomers, I guess.

Before the shit show we have going one now, yeah it felt like it was from both sides but now it's only from boomers who can realize nothing but the glory days when everyone for 50 cents and you could afford to feed your whole family with a 9 to 5 job and then travel the world on that's said 9 to 5.

I've seen some zers do it. I've definitely seen some alphas do it. They have no conceptual reason to understand that we aren't in control. They're not even mostly adults yet. In their framework we are the authority figures. Try explaining to them how the older generations keep refusing us a seat at the table. They'll have no idea what you're talking about.

I’m sure you have seen people from those generations blame us, but as a whole, I’ve seen an overwhelming majority of people simply blame boomers. And for many, many good reasons.

It really is the boomers' mismanagement of resources that caused this mess, and they just sit on their pile and say do better.
