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.
