I read "Luxury Boomer Communism" quite carefully. The data presented are not inflation-adjusted. Yes, the older cohort of the boomer generation were working when the dollar still had a tenuous tie to ...
ok, I'm KIND OF sympathetic to this argument -- and there are plenty of people who never benefitted material or noticeably. Even to this day, there are poor elderly and boomers with crappy lives and life prospects.
(and _def_ agree with you about the world we could have had under better money etc.,)
Still, we can keep two thoughts in our heads at once: THAT's true, and it's ALSO true that the (Luxury Commie) boomers as a cohort/class are excessively, unfairly, parasitically better off at the expense of the rest of us.
I can still "hate" them in general or in principle, AND feel bad for the (small!) minority who didn't do well.
