content: The Boomers got really lucky. Their parents demolished most of the civilized world in WW2, so that the USA could reign supreme for   345a  decades because US infrastructure was untouched and there was massive influx of Nobel class (((scientists))). Unfortunately, every generation rebels against their parents. The greatest generation pinched pennies in the Depression and saved ate from victory gardens in WW2. Their kids, the Boomers, perfected consumerism as they let American values erode.
