re: #367 Obdicut

Heh. The boomer’s attitudes are the current problem. The attitudes of the previous generations were the problems at that time. And so it goes. It just happens the boomer’s attitudes really seem to be exactly the inverse of what we need right now.

I never remember what generation I’m supposed to be.

Yes. If one wants to take that route. Doing this however is lumping everyone that was born between 1946 and 1964. I happen to fall within the very end of that range. Anyway, it’s not a matter of generations IMO since most hipsters have a lot in common regardless of generation. And we are talking the hip since that’s what “Millennials” connotes. It’s about an American mindset that’s handed down through generations that’s the problem. It’s about greed and profit margins. I know through personal experience that Millennials are perfectly willing to see an apartment building get converted into a Millennial nirvana and watch the previous renters get evicted and pay double or more for the rent in order to play Wii or sip their latte while checking their text messages in the morning.
