Every day it is more and more apparent that the Boomer generation has overstayed its welcome. Climate change, plagues, endless wars . . … The world will be better off when they’re finally all dead.

    They will be (and are already being) replaced by younger evangelicals, fascists (but I repeat myself), and con artists. They won’t go away.

      True, but the Boomers are the generation that actively inhibited changes that would have curbed climate change (and still are utilizing government power today to inhibit curbing efforts) because it would hurt share prices. Climate change is an existential problem whose effect will neither be repeatable for hundreds and hundreds of years and will be felt for just as long. The Boomers are the ones who ushered all this in. It wasn’t and isn’t X, Millennials, Zoomers, or Alpha; but they’ll get to enjoy the effects.
