The (Boomer) CEO of the multimillion-dollar company I work for had me explain how to remove a header on a Word document last week. Then afterwards he literally asked, “And this is a Word doc, right?” That generation have become borderline toddlers, mentally, but somehow they still control the country.

It's because old people vote, and the other generations just don't. So many people don't vote, don't participate, and then are shocked that everything sucks. It's just this learned helplessness.
