This asshole is not a boomer. I am. Nothing he talks about is relevant to my lived experience.

It is dismissive and ignorant, full of stereotypes.

My parents couldn't afford McDonalds. My generation ( actually a little older than me ) literally died in the streets protesting a little thing called the Vietnam war. And if we were not being shot in the protest, we were being drafted to die in a rice paddy a million miles from home. Ask my dead brother.

So please remove this crap.
