They didn't graduate from college under a mountain of non-dischargable student debt. They didn't enter the workforce earning a wage that hasn't increased proportionally to economic growth. They had unions protecting their interests. The US had singular world economic control in virtually every sector in the 60s and 70s.

Incredulity isn't a boomer. He's perpetually a college freshman. Not sure where that places him generationally.
Immortal?

I'm very familiar with stagflation.
It caused a two year recession. Living through a recession doesn't make your generation special. Every generation has them.
I'm not a boomer. Never said they were special. Your, "they got it handed to them" trope is laughable.

How?

Start here.
The 70's and 80's weren't a "world on a platter". 20% mortgage rates out front should have told you.

Yeah, enduring some very temporary events that briefly depress the stock market is certainly the same as a generation having to work literally 20x more hours to pay off a student loan than their parents did, or that an entry level job today doesn't even pay enough to rent a shithole apartment in the suburbs.
holy shit.
really? good lord this is laughable.

Their wages are utter shit, a lot of the ones who graduated college are being strangled by student debt that will never be fully repaid in their lifetime, shit is getting more expensive, the planet is being destroyed, etc. Did these issues face boomers when they were 21-37 years old? No. When they were that age, they were well on their way to taking over a planet that was handed to them on a silver platter.
Do some reading on Stagflation, Price Controls, Oil Embargo, Malaise, Cuyahoga River catching on fire, Three Mile Island, Watts Riots...

Meh. I didn't hate it.
I think Pixar is struggling. The story arc is very very similar to Cars 3.
The entire plot of Cars 3 was for Lightning to get back to racing, only for him to retire and not race. The plot of TS4 was for Woody to get back To Bonnie only for him to realize he doesn't want to come back.
They should be doing Toy Story 1 type stories over and over. More youthful kids joy and less mid-life crisis existentialism.

Guess I am an outlier. It’s my least favorite of the 4.

If I woke up with my head sewn to the carpet I wouldn’t be more surprised than I am now.
Here’s to swimmin with bow legged women.
Welcome to the party, pal!
This town stinks like a whorehouse at low tide.
I've drank more beer, pissed more blood, and banged more quiff than all you numb-nuts put together

A friend of mine sold Cutco knives as a summer job during college. I'm actually not sure he ever SOLD any, though.
I got a set of Cutco knives as a gift. They are incredibly sharp. Are holyup well, but frankly they get less use than they should because they are so fucking sharp the risk of collateral damage if you are at all careless is high.

Just to add further pessimism.
What will happen when and if enough housing is ever built to accommodate all the homeless is a good percentage will choose NOT to live there because the housing will have rules they don’t want to follow. Mostly no drug rules.
Unless we want to build modern taxpayer funded opium dens.
