A boomers life in history:
Born during the post-WW2 boom and suburbanization into nuclear families. Had a safe, comfortable childhood away from screens, in a friendly, sociable environment full of other kids during the fifites, got the enjoy all the "space age" hype during boyhood, got to experience all the traditional roaming kids communities and everything, got to enjoy the Space Race, moon rockets, the historic moment of moon landing and everything. The fifties might not have been that wholesome heaven some people think it was, but it was as close as it gets for a kid.
Got to experience all the counterculture during the sixties and seventies as a teenager and a young adult, got to experience the thrill of genuine resistance to authority, genuine experiences of their choice, fucking around with hippies, roaming across states with bikes, buying a muscle car from his summer job earnings, experiencing drugs and easy chicks everywhere during the free love era, basically the wildest continuous party a teenage boy could dream about. They had all the golden years of music too, the sex drugs and rock and roll. Yes, I know, they would immediately counter with Vietnam and draft, but only a tiny minority of people ever got drafted, only a minority who got drafted ever get sent overseas, only about 40% of those served at a position where they could even possibly see combat and an even smaller amount of those ever even saw combat or got wounded so boo hoo nigger, you got sent on a wild adventure with the frat boys, opium, hookers and war stories how you fragged forty charlies with chair leg, while you were actually stacking crates in Huygệ Phắc-ôp. They were practically free to do whatever during their youths, free to waste their years as they wished, as they could get hired off the street in the moment they got bored and decided to get hitched and get a job, there were plenty of partners willing to do so anywhere, plenty of jobs, plenty of up and coming places. That thing about walking in and getting hired after a firm handshake at a place that wasn't recruiting to a job they weren't qualified for? That absolutely used to happen. Boomers with some luck could even land jobs that would otherwise required a degree without one, and receive free mentoring and training into it.
Then came the eighties and now firmly set into their jobs, they got to experience the Reaganite boom and greed is good era. Boomers with a shred of luck or work ethic(or more likely, office politics) quickly shot up in their careers and became unfireable, but the ones that didn't had nothing to worry about either, you could still easily maintain a comfortable life on a single blue-collar wage, got your house, got your two cars, got your vacation at Disneyland, money was basically raining on everyone, investments were so easy to build with stock options thrown at everyone that basically any boomer who cared to, became millionaires within a decade or two. They also got to experience the pop culture of the eighties firsthand, top hits of Hollywood, music, fashion, big household names everywhere,
Then the nineties happened and all the smug boomers got to live vicariously through the demise of the Soviet Union and the Desert Storm, boasting about the victory of the state they so vigorously protested only two decades ago, now loving the establishment. They were practically made at this point, houses, careers, cars, investments, everything was going their favor, they got to spend their eighties-nineties family years during an absolute calm, golden age of the US, basically able to do whatever the fuck they want and how they want, getting to be absolutely profligate with cash. Culture, politics, everything was their playground, everything went as they wanted it, and they twisted every single system into channeling more resources to themselves, both from their parents and their offspring.
When the jet fuel melted those steel beams, their crib took a little shake, but in essence, it was only the beginning for the boomerization of politics. The previous generation was finally on its way out and boomers climbed to the commanding heights of power, electing presidents who were just as boomer retards as them. The US being their little playground wasn't enough, so they set their sights on the world and angrily demanded everyone, everything, everywhere should be exactly as they demanded it and NOW NOW NOW NOW. When the world refused to comply, they set out with force. First seething about and renaming literal French fries, because their ego was bruised, then blowing tens of trillions of dollars on decades long desert adventures they supported with the same dead-set, unshakable idiocy as israel. They distorted the entire world politics and burned up the capacity of the US as a world hegemon, financial, operative, military, diplomatic and ultimately economy on unwinnable wars with no real purpose or goal in sight, just because they couldn't take a no as an answer. The US budget, right after the dotcom surplus almost stabilized it, also took a fatal wound during this time, and began its death spiral of debt. The boomers, still obviously grumpy about the libruls taking "'their win" decided to start retiring en masse, but not before channeling as much resources into their healthcare and retirement systems. After all, their comfort comes before everything else and enjoys bipartisan support from them. Companies were also needed to be bailed out, as boomers clung to the strictest of status quo possible, their investments MUST be protected at any cost, especially if others had to take those costs. At this point, basically the entire state and corporate machineries were fully subverted into enabling boomers, enjoying their "golden years" as managers still in action and retirees, lording over a dying world, sucking it dry from the last vestiges of its life force, as they decided they need to bring in unlimited alien migrants, just to keep society trudging on long enough so they could enjoy their boat cruise retirements. What happens after does not matter. Fuck you, they got theirs.
