https://voxday.net/2025/01/25/keep-your-pillows-fluffy/Virtually everything the Boomers believe is bad is actually good for America and the younger generations:
Oh no, the population is declining.
Who will buy property? I guess we’ll just have to lower real estate prices. What a nightmare.
Who will fish our lakes and create landfills? I guess we’ll have to watch council rates fall and pollution decrease. What a nightmare!
Who will work unskilled jobs if there aren’t enough people to do them? I guess we’ll have to increase wages. What a nightmare!!
With smaller populations comes more tightly knit communities. Who will commit crimes? What a nightmare!!!
Cheaper real estate, less pollution, higher wages, lower crime… HOW WILL WE SURVIVE!?
I pay literally zero attention to anything Boomers say. I’m not exaggerating, I simply let them talk without even registering whatever it is they happen to be babbling about. Boomers are not only wrong about absolutely everything, but because they have zero empathy, because their analytical metrics are frozen circa 1960-1965, and because their only concern is what they believe is best for themselves at the present moment, all of their opinions are totally irrelevant to anyone under the age of 60, even when they’re not a priori incorrect.
The primary responsibility of Generation X is to ensure that the following generations do not follow the lead of our predecessors.
