OK Boomer is pure snark. There is no single source or target … except the obvious generational one. To be honest, though, Xers are blazing new trails of social, economic and political disfunction. As a generation, Boomers are being displaced as the worst. With Xers, it's endemic, and getting worse. Unlike Boomers, Xers kept their dysfunction in the private sector where oversight is almost nonexistent.
The Boeing 737 Max is a perfect example of corporate rot, but only one of many.
It is snark, I agree, directed at both Boomers and Xers IMO (since the fine points of differentiating between the generations are lost to most people).
Ouch about Xer dysfunction in the corporate world. In the last saeculum the New Deal took over to replace the dysfunctional private sector. But what is going to happen now? Seems to just be getting worse.
I thought that the Gen Xers were called "Karens", not "boomers".
