It is a plain historical and economic fact that the Boomers stole this from you and instead gave you the underemployed mess of AI job applications and entry-level jobs demanding PhDs we have today. We went from high-growth to low-growth under Boomer protests and then leadership.

If the Boomers were interested in absolving themselves they would probably point to the influence older-born generations had in the 1960s and 1970s, but I suspect even then the young Boomer youth bulge and subsequent decades of leadership still played a major role.
