Then boomers decuded that instead of paying into a system that future generations would benefit them thay actually just wanted it all now.
Same with Medicare and medicaid
Same with the environment
Same with housing.
Literally every single topic has seen negative progress because of the decisions of boomers, which subsequent generations have been working to counteract.
I’m not going to give the guy turning the crank on the orphan crushing machine a pass just because “the orphan crushing machine exists, somebody’s going to turn it”
Especially if you’re then going to argue the people actively trying to get them to stop crushing orphans aren’t any better than him
These aren’t decisions. Capital tightens as the rate of profit falls. Austerity is a force like gravity. There’s nothing the boomers could have done that would resulted in a different outcome except to overthrow capitalism.
None of the efforts from “subsequent generations” will be able to reverse this trend and “counteract” these decisions. You won’t ever get these things back without major social upheaval and revolutionary actions. It will be even worse for your children and grandchildren, if nothing is done and we stumble onwards. They will blame your generation for pulling up the ladder too if they use your logic.
