Baby boomers are not to blame for everything | Letters

The article is a response to a previous article by Phillip Inman, which called on the baby boomer generation to "step up" during the current crisis. The writer, a baby boomer themselves, argues that their siblings and others in their generation are not the privileged group often portrayed. They point out that many baby boomers live in council housing, have limited vacations, and rely solely on the state pension, which is not generous enough to give up. The writer emphasizes that the baby boomer generation was largely "born into the wrong class" and had to leave school at a young age, suggesting that they are not the source of the country's problems as often claimed. The article aims to provide a more nuanced perspective on the baby boomer generation and challenges the stereotypes often associated with them.
