Canadian boomer: we shafted our kids

It's like the boomer party of "respectable" adults were the first at the buffet tables. Our parents suggested that we leave some for those who come after, but most of us piled all the food we could on high. We were sick, after all, of listening to the same old song and dance of that generation. We gorged and drank and had a great time, and casually tossed unhealthy snacks to the kids waiting patiently for their turn. Now, as they are finally being waved in by their overworked and party-friendly parents, they're discovering the buffet has been emptied, and the catering company has even left town, cheque in hand.
