Things boomers had when they were coming out of high school; and entering college or the workforce:
A 80+% White nation
Tiny government deficit with a nominally gold backed currency, and government regulations had not imposed a gigantic regulatory burden on industries yet
Women were not in the professional work force
No migrant invasion putting upward price pressure on housing prices, and no migrants putting downward price pressure on manual labor wages.
US colleges and universities still had entrance exams that selected for intelligence - even after Duke vs Griggs Power this continued for a while, until the early 90s. The smart could still get a college education that meant something, and a college degree was still a valid substitute for the intelligence tests that Griggs largely did away with.
Most boomers still mentally think that all of these conditions exist, even after 50 years. All of them have radically changed since the late 1970s, all of them for the worse. Women entering the work force froze wage growth for decades. Migrant invasion drove the White blue collar working man out of manual labor, and essentially destroyed the Black working class, and their ever increasing numbers drove house prices through the roof. Universities have devalued their degrees due to massive pressure to admit more and more people to such an extent that now a bachelors is about the same place as a high school diploma was in the 1970s.
Boomers were too self absorbed with their own lives to oppose any of this. In some cases, they supported it (college degrees for everyone!)

Nailed it. And it's the most frustrating thing to come face to face with over and over when you talk to them and realize their mind lives in a world that hasn't existed for decades.
Even if the Boomer knew, the Boomer would not care. The Boomer fears and respects no power, not even the Eternal God. The Boomer respects but one thing: the zeros in their bank account, which must be perpetually monitored and balanced.
England is still something close to that and look at what that got them. Granted, if they finally snap they will have more of a numbers advantage than we do.
This is a big one. Small businesses hadn't been crushed under the heel of regulatory capture yet, so it was still possible to have a local economy that wasn't in danger of being destroyed by Amazon/Walmart.
Women were in the workforce, but not in the numbers that would come in the 70's. HR departments are what have really fucked us in this regard, as well as Griggs vs. Duke Power and the CRA.
The whole migrant situation is like throwing a nuke on a house fire.
Not only has affirmative action done tremendous damage, but the student loan program artificially increased the cost of education even as the quality dropped to the point that we now have a whole generation sold a lie and are drowning in debt with worthless degrees.
#5: I went the route of doing the 2 years community college program and then transferred into a State school. Did a STEM degree. Final loan(s) amount was 27.5k. I just paid it off in May with about 3k in interest.
You think that's bad? It's insane seeing these kids come out of school with 40-50k of debt.
It's even more insane that corporations are requiring college degrees for positions that really shouldn't require them, so now we have people saddled with debt that they otherwise would not have, to get paid shit wages that aren't really enough to live on while paying off said debt. That's not even getting into obviously bullshit degrees like gender studies.
College is literally a scam now, and the corporations are even making STEM degrees pointless with all their AI and imported jeets.
There is one thing I've noticed about the Boomers, is that they are fully willing to accept the decay of public infrastructure and services. The public bus could be filled with literal piss and shit and they will merely shrug and sit down as though it is their civic duty to ignore it.
They will see a drug-addled man carrying a knife and manically talking to themselves on the street and will casually walk by, completely convinced that they are surrounded by an impenetrable bubble.
They wallow in the decay and will look at you like the anti-christ for having the audacity to complain or want to make things better. Boomers are spiritually third-worlders.

Boomers are an entire generation of camels trying to squeeze through the eye of the needle at the last second.
Actually, they respect jEWish power and obey jEWs. Hardcore.

It's not just manual labor they effect, even though the vast majority are illiterate trash.
Artificial labor surplus has a depreciation effect on all wages.
