@ryananderson5202 You wrote that the boomers have to get out of the way. I get how tempting that idea is, I really, really do. But it's no solution. You would quickly find their replacements more appalling yet.
The civilization is in a long down-cycle of an even longer decline. No respite is on the horizon, despite what a few like you in the generations that followed the boomers ardently hope are possibilities their cohort can reverse it. I'm not sure you realize you are even more rare in your generation—it pains me to say it but you're far, far, far more rare— than your worthy counterparts were in theirs, back in the 60s, 70s, 80s etc. when they took over. They couldn't contain the landslide, so you and your skeleton crew, no matter how sharp-eyed and determined, have absolutely no chance at all.
Go ahead and try, though. Trying delays the total collapse a little bit, so it's worth it. It will also hasten the onset of a minor counter-cycle if there is indeed even one of those left before the end. (Rome, as you may know, had several whilst remaining stuck on its course of total doom, but then its threats from outside were pretty manageable, so I'm wary of hoping too much.)
Even if there is a bit of a counter-cycle on its way, I doubt you'll live to see it, as I would say our current momentum precludes it. I suspect you're Gen-X, and if so there's not enough time.
