    It’s usually fashionable for older fucks like me to hate on younger generations, but I’m genuinely encouraged by some of the noise coming out of Gen Z’s corner. I can’t comment on an entire generation, but some of the news headlines I come across, and the few young folks I know personally both give me a peace of mind for the stewardship of our planet after the fuckups of boomers and inaction of Gen X.

        You say you’re too few to do much but what you are doing is a massive contribution already. As the population ages, more boomers are going to die off and gen X are going to raise more children to be conscientious people who act with integrity.

        It might take another 20 years but then we’ll have the numbers from millennials, Z and X (am I forgetting anyone? The generation labelling confuses me) to truly effect change
