Why don't you show em how it's done?

Rich elites had other plans.

The latter

Oh they definitely changed the world, just not in a good way

So were Gen X and the Millennials.

Zoomers and Alphas swear up and down their gonna right all the wrongs we failed to correct, but aging--and the acquisition of things that might actually hurt to lose that goes with aging--tends to breed a certain desire to maintain the status quo that permitted that acquisition in the first place.

Y'all know better?

Okay. Do better.

they did... things were pretty good in the 60s-70s when the boomers were the youth shaping society.

then the generation after the boomers came in and they were also annoyed at the boomers since they didn't get all the "privilege" the boomers did...

when did things start going to ****? like 2000s if you ask me. things weren't too bad in the 90s.

Now their kids are on the streets begging for change.

It didn't work. Was the concept bad or did they just run out of drugs?

"It didn't work. Was the concept bad or did they just run out of drugs?"

Nah, they just took one look at the generation after them and were like "lol, not my problem."

They did change the world, They ruined marriage, ruined dating, ruined the family, ruined the middle class, ruined affordable housing and college, ruined privacy, ruined american manufacturing, ruined politics by not standing up to Apac, ruined the stock market, ruined healthcare and retirement by not having enough kids, and on and on.

They even ruined masculinity by going to war against it.

They also allowed lockdowns to happen. And all this fantasy stuff of people thinking they are dolphins or whatever.

You can have the other things, but man the stock market has been booming with the exception of an occasional stumble since the Clinton admin.

well george lucus isn't quite a boomer but he probably got the benefits and he sure did some things... people still really into that stuff...

Oh, it certainly was and is. But the whole point is that kids always think they're going to be different than their know-nothing parents--right up until they have kids, or a serious career, or a mortgage.

The more things change, the more they stay the same.

We are heading towards either the market crashes, or hyper inflation goes insane, if they keep printing money to boost and bail out wallstreet.
