While there are many things Boomers need help with, as they have been through far more societal changes than anyone younger has and may be losing the ability to adapt to those changes, they are not the only generation desparately needing help. The mental health epidemic, anything googleable health epidemic, unable to form relationships because individually they are all too niche epidemic, the list goes on, are all much younger than Boomer problems. Given that Boomers are 62-85 years old and are now in the dying off phase, I'd be much more worried about those who live their lives by TikTok fad or whatever since they have another 50 years to wreak havoc on everything and everyone around them.
