It's never been what anybody was promised, if that's any consolation.

    Boomers seemed to have gotten everything they wanted.

    Only if you mistakenly treat "Boomers" like they're all one person, and are ignorant of all the antiwar protests, environmental protests, and other protests by Boomers who decidedly weren't happy with the system at all and tried to change it.

    ah yes, I remember those record setting antiwar protests against Bush II's wars. Amounted to nothing because they weren't willing to start burning things. The civil rights protests only succeed because the threat of burning the cities down was very real, but public school twisted the cause and effect chain to instill a strong sense that peaceful and only peaceful protests work. Boomers aren't willing to put anything at risk for what they believe in and shun people who are.
