      Do you mean the people profiting are white boomers? Many are generation X. Some are millennials.

        I bet you wouldn’t make such a sweeping statement about a racial minority. The percentage of boomers (like me) who vote for progressive policies is pretty large, though not a majority. It’s not that dissimilar from GenX and millennials.

          Was I sweeping? I was saying the small number of people profiting were of several classes

          Actually I was asking if that’s what they were trying to say

          I bet you wouldn’t make such a sweeping statement about a racial minority

          I bet you wouldn’t believe the amount of sweeping statements made to my face about racial minorities by white boomers

            I bet I would, but I also bet it’s not all boomers making those statements (older than early 70s are Silents, younger than mid 50s are GenX). I also don’t believe that it’s okay to engage in sweeping stereotypes just because other people engage in sweeping stereotypes.
