Is there anything the Boomers haven't screwed? WSJ journo wonders (pre-read)

"The Theft of a Decade: How the Baby Boomers Stole the Millennials' Economic Future" (2019) by WSJ columnist Joseph C. Sternberg explores how Millennials were economically disadvantaged by the 2008 financial crisis and subsequent policies. It argues that systemic failures and poor decision-making, often by Baby Boomer leaders, led to lost opportunities, stagnating wages, and a challenging job market for this generation.
