You don’t know what age range the boomers are? Heh.
Comment on clean that up
Yondoza@sh.itjust.works 2 days agoFrom a climate perspective that’s just how the math works out, nothing to do with identity. The Boomers will avoid the main consequences of climate change due to the delay between action and result.

Boomers are older than the 1970s. The baby boom started at the end of the Second World War and ran until the early/mid 1960s. By the late 1960s we were deep into what used to be called the baby bust but eventually came to be known as GenX. People at the end of the boom from around 1960 to 1964 or so identify more closely with X and sometimes refer to themselves as Jones. I could write more about all of this but it is probably dull. One of the hallmarks of the break between the generations though was the availability of services, notably related to student grants and loans.
