Nah, 80s and 90s were paradise too.

Let's just go back to those decades and never leave.

The systems that destroyed our society were created by boomers and Regan. They just took time to work.

GenX was also relatively small compared to the boomers.

I wonder if every generation will blame (maybe correctly) previous generations. So long as things are getting worse, the kids kind of have a valid argument. "Why didn't you fix this before it got to us?"

As a millennial, I've been doing what I can short of going full vigilante. But in 30 years, they still wouldn't be wrong to say "it's still broke though isn't it?"
