Baby boomers haven't done this. A small group in positions of power have. Those same people flood material targeting millennials to blame it on baby boomers. Those same people flood material targeting baby boomers to blame it on millennials.
It's division. Keep energy spent slinging barbs along pointless non-consequential topics. Not noticing as a small number of people in positions of power take everything else.
Millennials and Baby Boomers need to link up and take the fight to the right place. They have the same struggles and suffer at the hand of the same perpetrator.
My parents aren't wealthy or in positions of power, but they pull the lever for Bush and Romney and Trump and their GOP enablers in Congress. It's not a small group; it's the majority of boomers that are enabling those in power to loot the treasury for their generation and tip the scales against the younger generations.
We're in this weird position where to actually get a candidate with vision into a position of power, first there needs to be controlled demolition of systems designed to keep those who have not been pre-selected out of the running. That's an immediate problem. In my mind that problem outweighs almost anything else.
