Fwiw, re- various online screeds in which one generation blames another for this or that, I'd like to suggest that the blame mainly belongs to the 1% in EVERY generation.

Each generation has its strengths and weaknesses; and I suspect that the generational blame game is just more wedging fostered by TPTB to try to keep us at each other's throats instead of focussing on our common ground and uniting against the real culprits.
