My gut reaction to this article was probably the same as a lot of people here “this is just baby boomers complaining about younger people again” and it kinda is, but it’s mostly a targeted parliamentary review into the effects of ageism on the older generation, and I would expect the government to do a similar review on the younger generation, if they haven’t already.
I do believe that pinning negative stereotypes on whole generations is wrong. It was wrong when the boomers did it to the millenials, it is wrong when millenials do it to gen z, and it’s wrong to go the other way.
Where does all the power and wealth concentrate? Amongst the boomers and older Gen x. Are they all wealthy and powerful? Fuck no! We’re all being exploited by the top 0.1% of the population, let’s not forget that.
