I blame the boomers for being way too selfish. They’re ruining it for everyone else

i told my mother (boomer generation) that now that she’s 70 she should think about planting a tree she will never see grow.

she looked at me like i told her to go fuck herself and told me that was dumb.

the boomer problem is an everyone problem.

Not all boomers.

Also, I don’t see all that much difference in boomer attitudes than some of the ones I see/saw in the Silent Generation and the “Greatest” Generation when it comes to at least a subset of them being very conservative and selfish in older age.

No, but enough of them to remove most of the ladder rungs for anyone after the.

Ever since I can remember, I’d hear those from the boomer generation say similar things about older generations, both in TV/movies, and IRL.

What will be different about Gen Y once they become the wealthiest generation in history? Is there some latent difference there which will be unleashed that will reverse the extreme wealth inequality that has been ramping up throughout the decades?

Time will tell, I guess.

Wasn’t there just an article about Gen X folks being a significant part of the reason trump won the vote? I don’t think we’re heading anywhere good just by generation trends.
Yeah, I didn’t love seeing people in my “generation” trending toward the cons. I think it tends to happen with every generation, unfortunately. Well, at least so far. We’ll see what kind of disruptions there are on the horizon.
