As I've heard before,
The day the last boomer dies the world will collectively breath a sigh of relief that the worst is finally over. Like the day your horrendous neighbor finally moves away or the highschool bully gets permanently expelled.

That particular generation really made a name for themselves. The first generation to
1. Live a wealthier life than their grandparents, their parents, their children and their grandchildren
and
2. To be hated by not only every generation before them (as it goes in this world..) but by every generation that came after them.

Quite an accomplishment.

Boomers came at an interesting time. Following the biggest wars and possibly collective trauma humanity has ever known. Those wars have a lot to answer for. Some negative effects that will last generations, along with some huge societal progress that may never have happened otherwise, or at least not nearly as quickly (like women getting the vote and more rights after working in factories and agriculture to help the war effort). It changed everything and the ripples continue for years.

Boomers are an interesting blip in the timeline.

Now a lot of their generation are well off and their children and grandchildren are poorer. It may take a while to reset.
