Isn’t the idea that previous generations suffered so that future generations don’t have to? If my kids never have to know a life where their parents worked such long hours away from home that they became latch key kids, then society and I have done our jobs. Right?
Yea. But now our major towns and cities are getting much worse.
Lots of countries seem to be going in reverse and have been in reverse for decades.
Something something boomers/silent generation bad though.
I was looking at it from the other way around, where any generation looks down on the next generation because they’re soft because my generation had/did XYZ; not limited to boomers or their silent generation.
Yea for sure. It is the way of the world to think that your generation is superior to the next. I'm sure Boomers thought Gen X were a bunch of pussies playing DnD with their fiends and playing arcade games. Now Gen X looks hard af compared to Millenials, who look hard compared to Zoomers. It's just life lol.
