It'll be a long time before people who are in their 20s now have the kind of power that the boomers had and continue to have. Both in terms of personal wealth and consumption choices, in terms of political power (the average age in the senate is currently 64), and corporate power (the average CEO is 58).
You can only hold people accountable for the things that they could have done. For someone in their early 70s that's about 26 times voting for federal representatives. For someone in their early 20s that's about 2 times.
To say those two groups bear any kind of equal responsibility is just wrong.
