I would further theorize that many of these boomers are deeply psychologically damaged and still living in a world where the summer of love (or its conservative equivalent of unprecedented economic prosperity) never ended. Usually they run blue collar companies that they'd scarcely be qualified to work for - things like logistics, manufacturing, imports, or automotive maintenance. Some are farmers. Most have deluded themselves into believing they worked hard for their money.

They live in a state of perpetual fear that their prosperity won't last or that their achievements somehow won't be adequate - and they won't, because we're all living in a vaporwave dream and all the money in the world isn't enough to make the mall music sound less hollow or the McDonalds meal taste less cheap.
