Framework has you covered there.

I heard Graphene. They’re doing e/OS as well?

I suppose to some extent I’m blaming the collective, and to some extent I’m saying “boomers” instead of “the majority of boomers that voted to support conservative politicians since 1980” to save some time.

This is sort of how discussion works. You’re also doing this. You’re saying rich people instead of “politically active rich people supplying money to XYZ, while ignoring those born into money and disconnected or lottery winners, or whatever other issue with syntax I can dig up. I’m just interpreting your language in good faith and more generously.

To your point, I do blame non-voters for electing Trump.

At some point “they’re a product of their time” stops being exculpatory. That logic can forgive just about anything when taken too far. For me boomers don’t get let off the hook. They’re happy to live in the GOPs alternate reality rather than face the reality of what they’ve done. The generation needs to be regarded with what their political activity produced and continues to produce, which is the entrenchment of the policies of the rich.

That isn’t the logic I’m using though. You’re refuting an argument I’m not making.

The majority of the boomer voting bloc elected these politicians and supported the policies of the rich. Their entire adult lives the majority of their voting bloc time and again supported terrible regressive policies.

That isn’t true of millennials.

To the extent we can look at a generation’s consistent and prevailing political activity, we can fault the boomers.

Sam Altman wanting to be a billionaire doesn’t excuse them.

If that is what you think you haven’t understood my logic.

My generation is millennial. Our majority supported Clinton in 2016, Biden in 2020, and Harris in 2024.

Boomers as a voting cohort have always turned out disproportionately to give majority support to bad candidates.

I agree with those assertions. I think they’re going a few steps further than that too though. And that is where I’m trying to understand the thinking.

Who elected Ronald Reagan twice, and George Bush, and George W. Bush? Who elected Trump?

I agree with you that the hyperbolic assertion that “every person older than us caused these problems” is wrong. But I also disagree with you that this somehow forgives boomers.

Their largest cohorts left us a dumpster fire and they’re doing everything they can on their way out to keep it burning.

Why does a tech bro wanting to be a billionaire let the boomers off the hook?

This is low. Look at the money they just wasted on their war with Iran, their tax cuts after tax cuts after tax cuts, and all the bail outs. We don’t have money for disabled adults being housed by family instead of at a facility!?

I hate these ghouls.

Thank you for this! I did not know this was an option.

I’m really surprised by this. YouTube is such a great source for adding skills and knowledge if you can weed through the crap.

It is admittedly more and more difficult to weed though.
