Everybody always says this generation is going to the dogs. Religion is dying, morality is dead, we live in a post truth society, our values and valued institutions are crumbling. Life will surely suck harder for those who follow us. Etc. Well, you reap what you sow, Gen X. All that 80s greed-is-good Gordon Gekko worship is biting us in the ass. We chose Veruca Salt instead of Charlie Bucket long ago. And now you’re surprised that your world sucks? Ask your grandparents what they thought of their kids generation. You’ll hear the same story since the beginning of time. Because nobody really wants change, do they? If you stub or stunt or otherwise kill off the symptoms, the underlying cause still remains. That same selfish rotten core that has what it wants, but doesn’t want what it has.
