        I think they got lazy based on a total misunderstanding of what their historical context was. They took for granted a stable post-war economy and failed to grasp that the government played a vital role in that. Then they got seduced by Reagan and it's been all downhill from there

        There’s a theory that millenials have no money because boomers run the world and largely subscribe to a failed economic ideology
