    So nobody gives a shit that the younger generations can’t afford a house, but it’s “unconscionable” when boomers can’t?

      You don’t earn the title “Me” generation without being legendarily self important.

      That was my first thought, homelessness has risen all across the board, especially among children, but boomers are still made the focus.

        Honestly, maybe this is an effective strategy. Rather than continue to try to convince them to care about others, we just have to convince them that they are in danger themselves. Republicans discovered that fear motivates boomers better than avocado motivates millennials, so it’s time to start using the tools we have available to drive the point home.

        And then we can finally get our hands on all that sweet avocado and toast…
