Reich describes problems but is unable to offer workable solutions. This clip is him being simplistic.
Blaming 'boomers' is an empty blanket accusation. What happened since WWII is limited to a few educated influencers, the crooked 1% and their money, secrecy, and a trusting citizenry.
Scary, too.

Mr. Reich, you have for many years done an admirable job of defining issues but very little to present workable solutions. Please provide problems and solutions.

No democracy until the billionaires problem has been finally and permanently neutralized. They hate democracy and the Bottom 90%.
They want AI to eliminate jobs for humans and end the ACA, shut country hospitals and undermine vaccinations. Why? Because many from the Bottom 90% will die.

The billionaires own us and we are to be organized as a business.
They want USPS to be privatized.
Money-making businesses should not be under the control of the government. Government USPS funding and profits are to go to the investors of the privatized USPS.
The 1% controls the wealth.

No matter how often or the effort to sell an idea there will always be those that disagree. That said, those that disagree have a right to express their opinion, enjoy equal exposure and not be subjected to taunting.

If dems had not caved, would progressives feed those in need of SNAP? Give up Thanksgiving and Xmas travel? If these sacrifices were too much for indy's, repubs and mod dems, could progressives live with everyone turning on them?
This is war. A stiff spine is needed for the many painful sacrifices.

Not surprised. Remember Palantir conspired with the US Chamber of Commerce and a law firm to use technology to discredit nonprofit critics of the Chamber's.
Exposed, the plan suddenly evaporated.
