Boomers lived through the easiest, most rewarding period of American history and immediately and repeatedly ensured that no cohort following them would ever have the same again.

As a group, they are the weakest, most selfish, and least adaptable generation in modern history.

“We’re too stupid to have better things,” cried Society.

This is, unequivocally, the real answer.

Ultimately the DNC is the arbiter of candidates and they’re never going to allow a candidate that rocks the status quo.

"Did you know GM had electric car technology in the 60s? And instead all the Boomers got lead poisoning from cars, which society has been suffering under ever since, while the gas and oil companies actively worked to undermine a better way of life across the entire country.

Imagine if you could just jump on a train and get from Boston to DC in 2.5 hours instead of almost 10 hours.

Or San Francisco to LA in 2.5 hours. Or Chicago to Nashville.

2700K is the closest to firelight. I refuse to abandon thousands of years of archetypal affection for cheap LED false suns.

And now huge swathes of them have nothing but their grinding mentality, as their family has splintered, their children have gone no-contact, and they have nothing of their Self to fall back on. It’s why they still perch on the upper rungs of our political and corporate ladders, punching down at anything they don’t understand.
