my favorite sound in the world is that of a pedal releasing from a piano
Well, the boomers did have a easier ride? this is GDP % change per person for the UK. Red lines highlight the early career of the youngest boomers, from ages 20 to 40. Analysis mine, so probably shit. Data ONS and World Bank.
Change per capita is a relevant metric as we want to determine how much of the wealth in a population someone can accumulate, and so working during a period of high growth per capita suggests a high potential for wealth accumulation.
Comparing to Millennials is hard, as we largely have not entered the workforce and those who have joined in the midst of the largest global downturn in modern history. But comparing to Gen Yrs born in the 1980′s suggests the boomers had 6.5x higher growth per capita averaged over the early career. This is a huge difference!
The rich millennials - I am going by Piketty here, inequality breads inequality. During the boomer years, the rising tide did lift all boats but as the pace of growth dropped, preexisting capital and new rent seeking structures have consolidated wealth into modern dynasties. This is compounded by the post 2008 new normal of maybe 1% growth making it impossible to compete with existing capital.
TL,DR: Boomers arn’t evil, just the most fortunate modern generation by a large margin. This leads to the typical structure where oppression is caused by the lack of understanding from power of the needs of the oppressed class.
AND plz correct for factual or analytic mistakes - this isn’t my field!
honestly though there are rich millennials? and there are poor baby boomers? like the idea that my grandparents are somehow of an oppressive class who’ve had life much easier than me is absurd to me?

Please. This is vitally important. I need you to picture yourself and five to ten other transfems that you know and love. I need you to hold the image of you all in your head. Now, I need you to imagine all of you in a steaming cedar barrel hot tub on a cold winters night, deep in the woods. I need you to hear the crackling of the fire in the wood-fired water heater. I need you to smell the thick perfume of steamed cedar wood. I need you to feel the snowflakes melt atop your shoulders. I need you to taste your friends tongue in your mouth, feel all your loved ones hands wandering over your body, over each other, snaking beneath the warm water and up, out, into the thick steam that rises above. I need you to imagine the feeling of them sliding inside you, of you inside them, of groping, of head, of tongues and mouths and breasts in that dark, barely moonlit night, lightened only by the thin seepings of orange glow pouring out around the burner, and the dim yellow flickers of the candles placed nearby. I need you to feel the chill of the frosty winter air each time some part of you rises from the water, and the soothing warmth as you return beneath it. It is of the utmost importance that you imagine yourself and your transfem sisters enjoying a sensual, cozy, debaucherous orgy in a cedar barrel hot tub in the woods on a snowy winter night.
