56. The whole Gen? Don't know about that.

But I will say that it is amazing how many boomers SEEM to have sold out over the years. Note: I am not lumping any one individual (including you reader) into that scenario. However, if they didn’t invent the phrase “as you get older you become more conservative”, then they sure as shit popularized it.

But it is wrong to paint with that large of a brush, and with that said I cannot count high enough to illustrate how many times a boomer has told me “I don’t have enough experience to know what I am talking about”, or “you don’t know how hard we had to work to get what we had”, or all the other bullshit. Now I don’t know who had it worse or not, but I can tell you the “uphill both ways” bullshit wears thin on me when we are talking about TODAY. And what people are dealing with today. This right of passage of “you don’t know nuthin cuz you didn’t suffer like I did” just mires everyone in the muck.

It sucks and it is stupid and it is designed to keep is from getting anywhere.
