They say the One Ring feels like warm apple pie…

Good points. And that shift in paradigm may have been endurable, but Boomers simultaneously felt the need to castigate young people for not failing upwards, as they did, gaslighting multiple generations for being born into predatory systems that Baby Boomers ushered in.

They voted against the betterment of others at every turn, while reaping the prosperity of their oversized influence for 50 years and then told their children and grandchildren (who, by and large, are MUCH better educated) that we are lazy and underachieving.

They’re the worst generation in American history.

I would argue that the stereotype is that most Boomer parents did not actually do much “raising.” They had kids out of some sense of obligation and then kept on focusing on themselves.

Boomers, as a cohort, are incredibly narcissistic and obstinate.

That said, I don’t particularly care about an inheritance; I want my Dad to live as long as he can and be happy and healthy.

You’re making some huge assumptions about the quality of sex and health education that those kids have had access to. It’s easy to point a finger and say, well you should be more responsible, but the reality is that adolescents are still learning and developing. So even with great education, they make bad decisions. They won’t have adult brains until their early to mid 20s. And there’s no reason why those decisions should ruin lives, when modern medicine can resolve the dilemma in minutes.

In other words, you’re making an argument for much better and more widely available sex and health education. Which religious types are likely to oppose. Can’t have it both ways- either the kids are fully informed and made an error, or their guardians failed them and set them on a track with a veil of ignorance.

That wound will never fully heal
