        If you read their comments on social media, it seems many only read the headline, what article? There's reading & then there's reading.

        I come to defend the boomers- they are in fact old- old people reaching their 70's. We'll see how you're all keeping up in 40 years.

        Don't defend the boomers. They're the reason our feed is full of "Millennials are Killing X" "Millennials aren't Buying Y".

        They trashed our planet, the housing market, and the economy, and now they sit back and whine about how we don't do as well as they did.

        Generation "Me" is full of people who never really became adults. They need to back off, and let the grownups run things for a change.

        I'm a #boomer, and I HATE being spoon fed TV news, regardless of source. Internet-based content curation is the best method I've found.

        Yeah, but the reading being done by under-50s is mainly on the Web, which I fear means Facebook more often than not.

        STOP! Boomers aren't resident evil and millennials aren't the cause of the end of all things. 50% of every generation is sub-par.
