    Ok so when that generation is dead, how does that fix the musk, Bezos, chesky, Zuckerberg problem exactly? We’re still stuck with them. They are still doing far more damage.

      With more progressive voting comes more chances at holding billionaires accountable. Boomers vote GOP who gives tax breaks to the rich.

        And yet somehow the younger generations are powerless to stop the evil boomers when they have the political numerical superiority to make the changes they want now…

        Get out and vote. Run for office - local politics is where you start - get involved. Be that change.

        ******And always remember that one day YOU will become the hated generation that is standing in the way of progress.

          It really just comes down to this.

          But it takes more effort to do so, than comment on an Internet forum.

            I have served in local politics and public safety but my time is long past. It’s well past time the next generations start to run things and I’m tired of waiting.

              Thank you for your service, citizen.

              but my time is long past.

              There are always advisory positions available.

              It’s well past time the next generations start to run things and I’m tired of waiting.

              Well, you know what they say about Power and Vacuums, they get filled, and the current stock of power lords will die off eventually.

              So at some point they’ll run for office (if they can put their phones down long enough to do so ( I kid! I kid! :p )).

              To be fair though, we’re not making their (future) elected jobs any easier by fucking things up today and doing our elected jobs poorly; its a team effort.
