Its a law in Oregon. Yes Boomers did cause a lot of the problems we face today but Millennials further aggravate it. But at least the Boomers did look after their own self-interest and did not put virtue-signalling over it. I gave an example on how they Millennials are pushing for rent control. The common sense solution is just to follow supply and demand. But no when the Millennials was met arguments against his plan he scoffed at them as "gentrification". He put his virtue-signalling over his own self-interest. So fuck the Millennials. It is that virtue-signalling that is destroying the Western nations.

How is looking after your own self-interest better than virtue signalling?

I'd argue that it's equally bad. Unless by "self" you mean community, but boomers don't care about community or the welfare of the next generation. If they did, then they wouldn't have shipped off all the jobs to China. Nor would they hire illegals from the Home Depot parking lot to build their deck.
