Ah, boomers …
With the necessary caveat that blaming boomers is a sweeping generalisation because they didn’t all get rich buying shares in BT, British Gas and their local electricity board, this is one of those rare, epoch-defining points on which I suspect we are in broad agreement.
However, the fact that boomers understand you influence governments by actually voting in elections rather than posting hashtags on the internet means that governments tend to be more responsive to their priorities.
