The Atlantic's article is more the newer generation whining.

The very new generations that had it easy as sons and daughters of the Baby Boomers.

I did not look to the author to know it is a younger person.

Fact is these new generations are happily grabbing the jobs left by the boomers retiring (they are completing 65 years at the tune of 10.000/ day) and DJT is happily saying the employment numbers are good.

this is plain wrong
In a variety of different areas, the Baby Boom generation created, advanced, or preserved policies that made American institutions less dynamic.

Not at all. This generation was very progressive and as youngsters themselves forced social initiatives of the 60s.

Here they are right?

But even for workers who don’t need a formal license, barriers to work have grown over time.

Jobs that once required a high-school degree now require a college degree.

This escalation of credential requirements has created a kind of educational arms race. The rise in collegiate attainment, again, did not begin with Boomers.

Rather, the GI Bill, and the explosion in new university chartering that it underwrote, created a new norm of college education for many jobs. With the rising availability of higher education, employers, who tend to be older than their employees, often demand degrees as licenses.

This above is corporatism that we see in many poor countries.

But blame on a generation everything is not realistic.
