And when you get to boomer age your cohert will do the exact same thing, and you will be yelling at the kids to get off your lawn, and the cycle will repeat.

Ask me how I know...

Guess what... another trump will run for president after donald is gone, and they will also be just as greedy, but not "a boomer" or anywhere near that age. It has nothing to do with age, so the sooner you get that out of your head, the clearer you will see the problem. Humans in general are short-sighted regardless of age, always have been, always will be.

I understand your argument though, I've seen it spouted from thousands of young people, trying to blame old people for everything. But it's those same young people that don't fucking show up to vote.

Maybe try voting, and motivating your peers to vote, and then things can change for the better, but young people of voting age notoriously are "not political" or just can't be bothered. Talk about short-sighted, lol, young people are very much so, too.

Practically everyone is at fault for the mess we are in, not just "boomers".

I gave up driving in the 1990's because I could see the climate calamity coming that we're now in. I was in my 20's at the time. It caused a lot of social pain for me, but I accepted it because I didn't want to be part of the problem. I wasn't short-sighted, and now I'm pretty old, and all I see is short-sightedness from every age group. "I got mine" is not an old-person thing, it's everyone that cares more about themselves than others - and it takes a lot of effort to do the opposite.

But what's the goal?

And as long as it's one big crash, at the end things stop inflating and all prices are higher and all wages are higher and everything is pretty much back to normal.
