Boomers do understand inflation and the stagnant wages, contrary to this sub’s belief.
But by criticising the millennials and how entitled they are, they bask themselves in a better light and how their “hard work” back then have earned them what they rightfully deserved. Like the housing back then which has appreciated in the millions.
And they can justify their success has nothing to do with the change in era, capitalism and income inequality.
In short, they make themselves look successful by putting down the younger generation.
