Any thoughts on why the baby boomers, Generation X, and the Millenials detest each
other?
The feud between Gen X and the Millenials has gotten so bad, that the Survivor series actually used that pairing for their teams recently!!!

It's no different than any other time. It's just the older generation not seeing their "qualities" in the next.
Read up on England and Georgians, Victorians, Edwardians, with the exception that the Victorians thought the Georgians lacked their hearty qualities.

I'll know next month.
Quote: A Generation of Sociopaths: How the Baby Boomers Betrayed America https://www.amazon.com/Generation-Sociop...ica-ebook/
In A Generation of Sociopaths, Bruce Cannon Gibney shows how America was hijacked by the Boomers, a generation whose reckless self-indulgence degraded the foundations of American prosperity. A former partner in a leading venture capital firm, Gibney examines the disastrous policies of the most powerful generation in modern history, showing how the Boomers ruthlessly enriched themselves at the expense of future generations.
Acting without empathy, prudence, or respect for facts--acting, in other words, as sociopaths--the Boomers turned American dynamism into stagnation, inequality, and bipartisan fiasco. The Boomers have set a time bomb for the 2030s, when damage to Social Security, public finances, and the environment will become catastrophic and possibly irreversible--and when, not coincidentally, Boomers will be dying off.
Gibney, whose 2011 essay "What Happened to the Future?" transfixed the investment world, argues that younger generations have a fleeting window to hold the Boomers accountable and begin restoring America. Distilling deep research into a witty, colorful indictment of the Boomers and an urgent defense of the once-unquestioned value of society, A Generation of Sociopaths is poised to become one of the most controversial books of the year.
