It's more on boomers than gen X. Boomers sold the country out.
They were the first entitled generation.
Their parents wanted to protect them from the shyt they lived through(the depression, 2 world wars, a pandemic) but in so doing, they raised a group of selfish narcissists who don't give a shyt about anyone else as long as they got theirs.
They didn't care that treating housing as an investment would make the prices go so high that their own children and grand children wouldn't be able to afford housing. They probably thought "I don't give a shyt, *my* child will inherit *my* house, I don't care about anyone else"
Except the morons didn't think about the fact that their kid would keep living with them into their 30s because other people had the same stupid thought process.
This shyt is all on a house of cards that's going to come crashing down and they'll pretend that they didn't continue to vote against any measures to prevent it.
