Have you ever seen a boomer losing their shit in public and verbally abusing some worker who has to stand there and take it and can't walk away?
now imagine being that person's child

Well, this is sad and terrible:
“Many experts believe that estrangements between adult children and their parents are becoming an epidemic in the U.S.”

“Many now view repeated criticism, strong disagreements and other painful relationship conflicts as abusive.”
“In their minds, they see themselves as more enlightened and therefore more justified to cut off for more reasons.”
Love that our oligarchs get to talk like poorly written anime villains while the rest of us get yelled at for suggesting the system that keeps them in power isn't all that great.
