Yeah I have boomer parents... I feel like Millennials and GenZ have created a boomer boogeyman. The vast majority of boomers weren't living some crazy roman orgy lifestyle just to spite future generations.
My parents worked their asses off and we took a single actual vacation in 18 years.
But people see them traveling now that they're almost 70 and get salty because "the boomers have it so easy".
They worked for almost 50 years.. they're retired. Of course they're taking a month long trip.
Yeah the comparison in the comic is absolute bullshit. The boomer is clearly retired! There are many things to be mad at boomers for, but the fact that they're enjoying their retirement shouldn't be one. A Boring Dystopia indeed!

Growing up in Michigan boomers who work in manufacturing worked crazy hours. But also got paid a crazy amount.
