This is what failure looks like. It is merely one example of many.

Our roads, highways, infrastructure are all functioning. I wonder who erected those? Electric grid works pretty good. People aren't cannibalizing each other. I know on the internet it's "muh we're all doomed" and "muh free markets!" but the real world is quite different.
The state serves a lot more purpose than "protecting the citizenry" (whatever the hell that means).

The infrastructure is crumbling very quickly. Roads are in horrible conditions, to the point it is becoming a topic more popular than the weather. All I hear people talk about is all the potholes and the meaningless excuses the politicians give for our roads looking like a war zone. The real reason is all the wealth floated to the top and stays there and everyone else, who isn't a billionaire, is treated like cattle and worked to the bone.

Oak said:This is like praising the generation of Italians who lost in Ethiopia. In the context of humanity it was a tragedy, but in the context of warfare Vietnam was a pathetic defeat. Boomers were not a warrior generation and the Viet Cong exposed and humiliated them.
Oak said:Worse than that, they didn't even preserve what was handed down to them, but instead drained every last drop from the civilisation they inherited out of pure greed, leaving a bloodless lifeless corpse to their descendents.

Being in between a Boomer and a Millennial, my view of them as a group is...
Boomers deep down mean very well. They deep down know how spoiled they were and they want to share that with the world. But they cannot explain where their easy lives came from or how to share it, so instead of doing so, they are destroying the privileges they had so the next generations don't get to enjoy it. Boomers are the only generation to be raised by the TV and at the same time not shut that stupid thing off. Nothing in the world is worse than the TV. Due to the internet, the boomers are the first generation to reach the "wisdom" stage of life and have no wisdom to share. Younger generation are wiser, on average, simply thanks to the internet and smart phones putting the world's wisdom in your pocket and available 24/7. When you argue with a boomer, it feels like you are arguing with Sean Hannity and once you point out the hypocrisies, they just go back to a cliche talking point. If you try to explain to a boomer that there will be no jobs because robots are replacing them, they seem to just be dumbfounded. "Just work harder".
IMO, Boomers are for the most part great people who are very unaware of how much the world has passed them by and are seen as either old racist people (by the young left) or in the road and nothing to offer to help (by the young right).
Millennials and younger are extremists. The leftists are pretty much communists who hate much of the foundation of this country and want it wiped away and replaced with their ideas. These Millennial leftists are so hyped up on victimhood teachings it appears no amount of reason can reach them. The right of the Millennials are then forced to the far right just to prepare to protect their families and are frustrated that the boomers don't grasp how truly dire the situation is.
One more thing about Boomers I have noticed. They just love to throw money away and buy junk. Maybe it is because their parents were very cheap after surviving the Great Depression and now the Boomers are adults they want to buy all the things they couldn't get as children. I don't know, but all the Boomers I know get so giddy to buy silly things they will never use or need.
If someone from the Boomer generation wants to really want to help the younger generations the best thing you can do is stop spending money and save it for the upcoming right wing Millennials. They so desperately need what you are throwing away.
