Too bad my generation (X) is shaping up to be garbage, just like the Boomers. You'd think we would have learned from the example they set, where we had it fairly good as kids & young adults but saw the Boomers hellbent on trying to keep it all for themselves as we got older. Nope, apparently a lot of us are seeing fit to try and do it to the generations behind us: Millenials, Z, & Alpha. https://www.damemagazine.com/2023/11/02/are-gen-xers-the-new...

It's class warfare folks. Try to ignore this "generational labeling" to keep everyone distracted on the wrong thing.

Coupland warned that Gen X would get the blame for the generations that preceded them

I don't think having Gen X outnumber boomers in congress will have an effect. if it was Gen Y or Z then maybe.
