Wtf even does "the current generations" mean? Whenever people say "the newer generation" or "the young generation" or something they just sound so fucking incompetent.

And worse: the home buying age isn't 19, it's more like 30 - 40.

Being over 40 doesn’t make you a boomer.

As is blaming boomers when the world is not run by just that one generation. The most successful billionaires today are made up from genx and millennials.

So making it a generation war just when it’s pointed at boomers is just stupid and incompetent for an argument.
