      You believe wealth exists only in a binary states of either gold flaked champagne or homeless destitution? Or perhaps you are being facetious? Regardless, the simple truth remains that your average boomer is much better off than your average millenial, or zoomer.

        Citation needed. Because I see older folks going through my recycling for empties every Wednesday. And I see tired exhausted old folks on the bus every day. Not saying rich boomers aren’t a thing, of course. But their elder millenial kids tend to be well off too by now. In the grand scheme of things, it’s a class thing, not an age thing. Always has been.
