I managed to catch the dot com bubble within a year of getting a steady job, got laid off, worked overseas because there was no work where I lived, finally decided to move back and took the mortgage crisis straight in the nads. That was nearly a decade of my employment life that was interrupted/nerfed.

Make no mistake, Gen X has not been well served by the boomers. I'm sure there are greedy fucks in every generation, and the greedy Gen Xers probably got rich earlier and faster than Y and Z, but the systemic shit is a boomer badge to wear.

Yeah, 79 here. I kind of used to think Inwas Gen X but I am way way more millenial aligned in almost every view and way.

Same as it always was.

Fortunately, we're not alone. We're all in this together, it's a class war. We need to stop framing it as a generational war, and build bridges between the generations not shore up the walls the billionaires have built.
