I originally thought that generational bullshit is stupid and, without any other influence, each generation is really the same as the last and the changes only really happen within the society itself. So I always thought it was stupid when people would say, "X generation is the dumbest!"
But then I realized that Boomers were hit with both massively spread lead poisoning and swaths of radiation through especially Midwest America throughout their developmental periods that it is fair enough to say that, should there be such thing as the "Dumbest Generation," it would likely be the Boomers
In retail it's always boomers losing their shit about almost nothing, and being 40 now, I recall the past 30 years pretty well, and there were also recipts with coupons, you had to pay cash and using a CC or Debit was a curtesy you couldn't expect, banks gave you cards and pin numbers, but NOW they can't handle it. At all.
Plus, a lot of them got Covid without a vacchine and that disease attacks your nervous system and can shave of between 3 to 6 IQ points with each infection. So they are likely even dumber now than they were before Covid.
I have genuinely thought this for years.
