What can Gen Y specifically do politically to turn their economic futures around

I don't know which age range 'Gen Y' is supposed to be.

I would define it as those born between the early 80s to mid 90s.

The Pew Center uses 1981-1996 (or 97) for the Millennials (what Gen-Y is normally called now that it has a name separate from Gen-X). That compares to 1965-1980 for Gen-X and 1946-1964 for the Boomers.

Jan. 1, 1981-Jan. 1, 2001, IMO. Generations are by the twenties.

The youngest need to maybe do two years of community college for some associate degrees. Secure leadership positions to make sure to be able to take advantage of Generation Z, which will likely be mostly professional free lancers.

except the baby boom phenomena ran from roughly 1946 to 1964. (maybe it began *slightly earlier* depending on a few sources but it certainly didn't end earlier.) nobody thinks someone can be both gen-x and a baby boomer now a days.

1941-1961. Then 1961-1981.

You don't honestly think being a "baby boomer" should have anything to do with generational time periods, do you?

The Baby Boom is a well defined event based on real demographics. Artificially fitting it to some two decade span makes no sense.
