I get this argument. But do we really think, in 40 years, our children won't find blame in us for the shape of things? https://www.vox.com/2017/12/20/16772670/baby-boomers-millennials-congress-debt … I'm not sure we can expect generations to get "better" at protecting the future

people are people, in every generation. Time doesn't make the lot of us more charitable or prescient. Just because we get to see "the future" it doesn't mean we're enlightened. We have to see the flaws in our parents in ourselves.

i would agree with you more if we as millennials weren't facing super bleak economic conditions, the robbing of our public services and a destroyed planet all at the hands of the boomers. these are big problems that will be very hard to reverse

o, totally! The argument stands! We're set up for some hurt. Just thinking that we shouldn't take it for granted that generations will make better decisions in the future. (though, maybe, the bleakness will be a force to nudge us to a better place. idk)

what's after z? Are they the last generation? Would be sufficiently epic if they do, indeed, have to prevent the apocalypse
