There are all sorts of generational stereotyping and critiquing that go on, but what does it only become "discrimination" when the bad age-related effects of Boomers are pointed out? You never hear this overly cautious "don't discriminate!" Warning when Zoomers are critiqued.

Similarly, age-based discrimination is illegal in the workplace, but only against older people. It is perfectly legal to discriminate based on age against younger people! This, despite younger people having less power and getting paid less on a group level.

Very odd how all this concern only flows one way...

I treat all people as individuals and would make the same comment to reply to a bunch of stereotypes of zoomers as well.

My reply already states this in other terms. It's impossible to be for equitable treatment without seeing individuals instead of groups.
