While stagnating wages.
Quadrupled (probably) healthcare costs
To be fair this does hit them first as they age
But also they just strike even by metabolizing their life savings / real estate to pay for this
Leaving us… with no inheritance and holding the bag
Instead of groiping about problems all the time, we should also be thankful for all the great things they invented, like microchips and food abundance.
Not sure why you’re assuming the people smart enough to create these major inventions aren’t also smart enough to understand their generation as a whole helped barrel us towards a climate disaster
Borlaug, Kilby and Noyce were all greatest generation. I don’t think they were parenting lemmy users.
I don’t disagree but I’m going to let these people yell at you because they scare me. I can’t take anymore downvotes.
Food abundance came as a result of the industrial revolution, which started waaay before our parents were born.
Supermarkets haven’t been around that long. The wide variety we satisfy our picky apppetites with is miraculous!
We’ll have to reinvent food abundance after climate change, ground water depletion and soil erosion are finishing up with the current one.
If you are looking at the possibility of global food and water shortages as a business opportunity well then you might be part of the problem…
So…they did give us something to cry about.
And that’s why you always leave a note!
I’ll start crying about reposts if this goes on
