For me, it's the drive thru-- makes the boomer kids lazy, wasting gas, environmently unfriendly, no thank you. I'll physically walk into the fast food lobby for reconstituted pink chicken slime as nature intended.

      It's probably moreso the lead everything, but being blasted with TV every waking hour probably didn't help

          Since they were the first people to be raised by TV they feel comforted by it. They are the vanguard of modern alienation and in old age, TV gives them companionship and emotional engagement which they cannot get from their socially isolated lives.

        The effect of lead is greatly exaggerated. If you compare American, Chinese, and Soviet boomers - who all grew up with leaded gasoline - you'll see it's only the Americans that have brainworms. Lead is still bad, of course.

          At least in China and the USSR you could access healthcare to treat some of the effects of lead poisoning? Ehhh, maybe you're right, it's probably just the broken social structure.

    The only reason they had anything good was because the ruling class had an active fear of a communist revolution.

    That those damn kids need to get off my lawn!

    Show

    But for real my take is that things aren't made to last anymore and that sucks (to be fair this is also a boomer thing and can be a good introduction to explain late capitalism and it's faults to older people, if the opportunity arises)

      My grandparents got married in 1950 and the toaster they were given as a wedding present still works. Grandpa replaced the cord once or twice, but that's it. They have passed on, but the toaster is still going strong at my cousin's house.

    Getting angry when people waste food. These kids never knew what it was like to live during the depression!

    The vast majority of victories of women's equality that were won during the war were sledgehammered away after the war and no one talks about it. Women were doing stuff, particularly proving they can do a lot of "man" stuff. They keep the world spinning. Women around the world of every creed. class, and color, proved they hold up half the sky and the war end and their sky holding efforts were minimized by history.
