It’s because they’ve been right about that their entire lives.
They’re called Boomers beause they’re the largest generation. Being the largest generation means that you’re the generation with the most purchasing power, the most cultural cache, and the most voting power. Corporations, the media, and political parties have spent the past 50-60 years making the Boomers the foundation of their strategy.
The whole of mainstream society has been telling the Boomers for their entire lives that they’re the most important people in society.nIt’s only now that they’re dying off in a significant way that this strategy is starting to fail.

They fell for the ploy and entrenched us in the cycle before we had a chance to speak about it, and presently are obstructing the fixing of actual problems, problems that are a result of their negligence.
