There are plenty of things to complain about re: Baby Boomers, but this article is silly on numerous levels, particularly with logic and statistics.

"the rest of the worlds’ factories were destroyed, while ours were not. Globalization hadn’t taken off, so there was no competition between, say, auto workers in the U.S. and auto workers abroad." Not sure what factories being destroyed has to do with globalization, but OK...

"Digging into Chetty's data" - what a joke - those who did not live during the Great Depression earned more than those who lived in it - holy shit, what a conclusion - going to be tough for the Sveriges Riksbank Prize in Economic Sciences to ignore such astute work...

The fact that the author is a PhD candidate at NYU, will soon be an assistant professor at PSU, and is presumably a millennial isn't going to endear any Baby Boomer (or reasonable human of any generation) to the millennials with such a half-ass screed.
