Boomers: All right, which one of you are going to clean up our messes?
Millennials: What?
Gen Z: What?
Millennials: Seriously? We have like no power. You ensured that most of us were saddled with crippling debt, and havenât raised the minimum wage enough to keep up with inflation so we can never pay back that debt, and have barely enough income to share an apartment with one or two roommates. Weâre lucky if we can find one with a washer and dryer in-unit within our price range! Weâre so tired and over-worked that we barely have enough energy to text a friend or post a selfie on facebook to let people know weâre still alive. How are we supposed to clean up your messes??
Boomers: Whatever. Entitled lazy Millennials. Always on your phone and posting selfies. Maybe if you worked harder you wouldnât be in debt. Always wanting things handed to you on a platter. Itâs not all about you you know. Generation Me amiright?
Boomers: All right, how about you, Gen Z? Youâre fresh, young, havenât got much debt yet, you have your whole shining future ahead of you! You can be an inspiration to the world! How are you going to clean up our messes?
Gen Z: Um, we donât really have any power either. Most of us arenât even old enough to vote.
Boomers: Donât put yourselves down! Youâre the future! Put your young minds to work! Maybe youâll think of solutions weâve never even considered! Let us know what they are and weâll implement them for you!
Gen Z: Um, ok. Stop destroying the environment by switching to clean energy instead of drilling for oil. Cut your carbon emissions to slow and eventually halt climate change. Raise minimum wage and give people health care so that we survive into adulthood and can help you clean this mess.
Millennials: I mean, these are the things weâve been trying to tell them for years, but maybe theyâll actually listen to you since youâre the bright shiny future.
Boomers: What? We wouldnât even consider doing any of that! What do you know about politics, economics, and the environment anyway? Youâre not even old enough to vote! Where do you think the money for all these changes is going to come from? Money doesnât grow on trees.
Boomers: What?! The rich worked hard for their money! Itâs really hard pleasing your parents so that you can inherit the fortunes! They have a right to hoard away all the wealth so that no one else can have any.
Boomers: WHAT? How dare you insult us! You know, youâd get a lot more respect if you would try and talk to us instead of being so dismissive of everything we say!
