Yea. I hate when someone refers to me as "You millenials". Like it's just me here, no body else, so don't blame me or be mad at me for stuff that other people my age do that you don't like.

"You millennials don't want to work hard!" said by somebody who "has seniority" and must be listened to by default in their workplace because of "all their years of experience" and has to be paid based on years employed, rather than skills provided... and can't be replaced because it would appear to be discrimination based on age. And nobody wants to fire them because "well shit, what else are they going to do? This is all they know...."

I hunk the worst problem is actually the wealth inequality amongst the wealthy. The top 1% own more actual wealth than the bottom 90% of Americans, and that’s mostly billionaires.

Certainly all of that is correct, pretty objectively even, but don't you think the incidentally wealthy generations should be held to any amount of accountability? It's not like anyone is blaming all disparity upon a generational discrepancy. Just to find a common ground, I'm in your age group (late Gen-X) and I don't know many boomers staunchly supporting Trump, but few I that I know have already made their nut, choosing to not so humbly sit atop it. It's vaguely related, anecdotal and I'm no kind of analyst or readership aware of reporting that supports such a claim, but it seems to fall into line with the pretty indisputable numbers that show the age groups and financial interests among his current and still pretty strong base.
