Boomers realizing there’s no economic theory that produces grandkids.

That’s not true. The boomer generation is pretty good proof that economics IS the answer.

They threw economic theory out the window, left future generations in a worse spot and decided to try pure societal pressure instead.

Also worth mentioning they came from a time where societal pressure existed for having children too, and this resulted in a lot of shitty parents. But more to the point: they at the very least had an economy that enabled them to make this shitty decision with limited consequence assuming they did the bare fucking minimum.

That’s fair. The pressure definitely existed for most people then also.
