It is a good idea , but only if coupled with extensive educational segments and involving the boomers in union activity and activism at the end.

"Yes, the boomers are conservative. That's because the system they grew up in, multiple generations had paid in blood beforehand to force it to give a fair shake to the people who do all the work. It's okay that they have this allegiance to the system, because the system for most of their lives took good care of them and seemed fair. But, they need to know that that isn't an inherent feature of the system, and where the levers of struggle exist to enforce it back into a fair state, and then they need to be offered the opportunity to re-tip the scales back into that direction. They won't live to see the success but they surely know it's important once they experience the impacts themselves."

"And, if they don't want to do that, but simply are upset that they are having a hard time now, then it's okay to laugh at them while they beg for a job as a Walmart greeter and have to decide whether to start eating cat food now. And then in a year we can check in on them and see if they're ready."

On a more serious note, this is 100% correct.
