It's not out of touch, its deliberate gaslighting.
It would be gaslighting if the intended audience was the young people it was talking about. But they aren't the ones reading the Wall Street Journal.
It's right-wing propaganda designed to confirm the existing biases of boomer haves (their real audience) toward gen-z have-nots (the smeared out-group)
