(2017-02-26) How The Baby Boomers Destroyed Everything

How the Baby Boomers destroyed everything. Bruce Cannon Gibney is a venture capitalist and writer and the author of the forthcoming book A Generation of Sociopaths: How The Baby Boomers Betrayed America.

My indictment of boomers may seem overbroad, but the thesis is quite specific: the unusual prevalence of sociopathy in an unusually large generation

By 1994, boomers held a majority of (US Congress) House seats, a proportion that peaked at 79 percent in 2008 and remains a still formidable 69 percent. The rest of government went the same way: Boomers make up 86 percent of governors, about three-quarters of the proposed Cabinet, and much of the judiciary and bureaucracy.
