Part of the reason why Gen X never really came into power in my opinion is because the boomers would not leave! By the time they all fucking die off it'll be time for the millennials and the Gen Z's...

And that's not just political power, but that also goes with corporate and everything else. There's so many people that really need to just retire and get the fuck out of the way so that the young people can do what they need to do and maybe turn this boat around!
