    This is the thing I love the most about the younger generations now.

    • Boomers: If you don’t like it do something about it
    • Gen-X: nah we’re too nihilistic
    • Millennials: sorry we’re too busy trying to survive on the scraps you left us
    • Boomers: that’s what I thought

    Now:

    • Boomers: If you don’t like it do something about it
    • Gen-Z/Alpha: okay!
    • Boomers: no, not like that!

      As millenials I think the best thing we can do for the later generations is to just take a back seat. Thanks to boomers our generation has never held political power, and if we accept that and immediately pass to the younger gens instead of trying to make up for lost time I think we will leave them in a better spot.

        As an almost 40 year old, nahh, we aren’t skipping 2 generations to give the power to zoomers just because some rich kids are protesting.

        We protested too. Don’t forget that.
