Bernard Salt: time for the me generation to accept hardship

So whoever this guy is he’s raised this issue in a remarkably repugnant fashion. This is essentially the baby boomer generation seeking to safeguard their retirement nest eggs by blaming the state of, dare I say, their economy on the younger generations.

So what happens when you assume entitlement to handing on a torch?

This question is not just directed at the baby boomer generation but also the political system that employs it’s system of internal promotion intended to minimise internal dysfunctional competition but easily used to maximise a cushy job with minimum oversight, obviously not a system that provides anything for the community that isn’t delivered in a completely back-handed fashion.

With this as an example being set by those who claim to be those who should be listened to it should have surprised no one that the goth/emo culture of jaded disinterest is reflected within the voting youth population of the globe. The UK/US/AUS political systems are reaping the return of a limited liability system in which all credit is taken with no recognisable responsibility provided in return.

The question that remains to be answered is can those in areas of authority genuinely predict the result of failing to come up with effective solutions to the challenges they throw at the children they claim to raise?

You do not take the state of politics at the moment as seriously as I?

Possibly but not as probable as some may think given the promise of sunlit uplands and certainty of the continuum the post war period exuded.
The newlings see only boom receding in their rear view mirror and are sad.
The oldlings remember seeing boom boom receding in their rear view mirror and were glad.

I honestly have no idea how anyone doesn’t demand their tax back. THe bastards are simply wasting your money on their frivolous bullshit.

Why don’t they all just have one big shoot out and be done with it.

That is a distinct possibility.

I feel so entitled that I don’t even want to pay 4 dollars to read the article.
