I’d like to be sympathetic, but this is the world they created. And on top of that, our generation was called lazy, entitled, etc. by the boomers. Guess you can lay down in that nice bed you made.

I mean, that's a huge generalization in both directions.

There's no evidence these people, throughout their younger life, did anything but try to survive.

“I’d like to be sympathetic” Based on your comment it seems like quite the opposite, actually. You’re no better than this boomer boogeyman figure you’ve created in your head.

If these baby boomers are still paying rent or are facing homelessness, then it's probably safe to assume that they probably weren't the ones who had a say in the world that was created.

Poverty and the proletariat exist in all generations.
