    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.

      Are those things supposed to make up for the mass extinction event they caused?

        I think their accomplishments weigh favorably in the balance

          I don’t think anything can possibly balance the massive, irreparable destruction that’s been done to this planet, but I guess that’s just me.

              I think deep down they know they’re gonna die. They don’t care about the future either way.

          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

              Are you a troll or do you actually think your tiny little bubble is indicative of what the entire planet is going through?

                  Alright well whichever you are, your deflection and arguments are lackluster. I’m gonna stop responding.

      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!

          You think supermarkets were invented by boomers?

            You admit, then, that food prices are made up to gouge us and have nothing to do with actual scarcity?

              All product pricing is a complicated result of the economy. Thankfully scarcity is not a significant factor.

                If scarcity is not the only factor, the prices are made up and we are being stolen from.

            Prior to 1960 the concept was uncommon.

      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.
