I’m getting ready for the inter-generational warfare to rev up even higher, blaming the cost of things for Gen Foo on Gen Bar (as if only one generation has to pay for things, but this is why I find it suuuuch a stupid distraction - turns out the poor among the boomers or the Greatest Generation get hurt by this stuff, too.) , when the blame should lie with Republicans and their bullshit notions about economics.
There’s a huge amount of boomer hatred out there which is very misplaced. Nearly all the people who are leading MAGA are GenX at most and a lot of millennials. All the Proud Boys and such have to be young enough to believe they can physically fight. It is 100% stupid Republican ideas that are going to screw this country up.
I could not agree more. The constant retread of “Gen Foo just doesn’t ‘get it’ like Gen Bar does” or “Gen Bar are too soft and are a bunch of layabouts and complainers” is so very tired. You could find articles written today about Gen Alpha and find similar sentiments written about the boomers, and give a few decades, they’ll probably be writing the same things about how Gen Alpha sold out Gen Delta or whatever…
It has nothing to do with the two arbitrary dates someone happened to be born between and then lumped in as a “generation”, and has everything to do with conservative policies…
Though I will say I do wonder where some of this is headed given algorithms are doing this narrowcasting at the exact same time that people seemingly have little to no instruction in critical thinking - not that I think we’ve ever really been great at instruction in critical thinking, mind you. In any case, it might be the youngest among us and those that come after may be prone to engaging in some of the most extremist right wing insanity we’ve seen on these shores in a very long time.
So cars will be significantly more expensive no matter where they’re made?
