    Your kids are Monday morning quarterbacking. And your grandkids will be tearing you a new butthole for all the stuff you’re not fixing right now.

      It’s not about what they failed to fix, it’s about what they actively fucked up.

      As a voting block, their demographic consistently did the opposite of “Plant trees under which shade you will never sit.” At every turn they sacrificed their children’s future for short term profit.

      Boomers deserve their selfish reputation.

        Boomers deserve their selfish reputation.

        You’ll deserve it too in 2076. You’re doing something wrong. I know this because you’re a human being.

          I hope you’re right. That would mean us younger generations managed to right the ship.

          If society progresses to the point where my grandkids are condemning me for eating non-lab-grown meat or something it will be in spite of the boomers best efforts - and due to us younger generations dragging them kicking and screaming onto a more sustainable path.

          Progress is not an inevitability.
