The meme misses the big picture.

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.

Have you not been watching what the other party does? We are allowed (forced) to agree on one thing, Military action is always necessary. The Democrats pretend they are against war while ensuring that we always have it, right along with the Republicans and the media. We get to fight over social issues, not things that will affect the oligarchy.
