    Those family’s children grew up to be greedy assholes. That’s what happened.

      Deregulation of markets and industries and weakening of social programs. Overall making the power of large corporations and a small number of wealthy people way more than the power of huge numbers of average people.

      All completely supported and promoted by the people who benefited from the opposite.

        It’s funny how we’re both talking about the same generation of privileged children who grew up to be greedy assholes. If you can’t see it then you are probably one of them.

            I may have misunderstood. It had initially seemed to me that you were sideways defending the boomers. I apologize.
