I don’t think boomers are very good at running things.
They grew up in a for the most part prosperous time, middle class had 2 cars in the driveway, jobs were easier to obtain, it's no wonder alot of them think the way they do.
Think about it this way: They were literally the most spoiled highest quality-of-life group of humans to ever exist on Earth in any timeline.
No human generation before or after them got to, or likely will ever, experience such a prosperous story-arc. They should consider themselves damn lucky and act like it, while supporting future generations to have a sliver of what their spoiled asses were able to enjoy.
Boomers grew up in a world with a 91% top-tier income tax rate that drove businesses to spend their excess income on products and services, which became their parents' paychecks.
Take heart, in 10 years the worst of the boomers in power today will be dead. In 20 years there will be almost no boomers left. Hopefully there will be enough of a country left to fix once they're all dead.
In about 25 years most countries will be warzones and anyone that cant afford whatever the elite are charging for the few freshwater sources left on the planet will be dead or enslaved. anyone within twenty degrees of the equator will have fled or be dead, and anyone living above ground anywhere else will live in nonpermanent shelters due to the yearly storms that destroy standing structure.
boomers will be taking the worlds habitable range with them, and leaving us with a nightmare.
You're forgetting that there are many brainwashed younger people who totally bought the bullshit. It won't be easy.
