Yeah, if I were NYTimes, I would pay a kill fee for that op-ed too :). Doesn't matter if there's valid source ideas, its writing is so poor and voice so immature.
I'm in my early 40s myself, so a gen X-er as they define it, but I'd say it's not only "old man shouts at clouds" thing, as I've stumbled upon lots of people whom I supposed were younger than me (and I suppose part of the gen Z age-cohort) and who were against this entire consoome mindset. I'd say it's the millennials who were the most affected by it (one of the many similarities between the millennial and the boomer age-cohort).
