this is such a fucking lie. boomers just didn't mind "embracing the suck" of work. my parents grew up in nyc when it was bad, pre-giuliani. murders and theft were rampant, not unlike today. these kind of posts make it seem like our parents generation lived in some kind of heavenly utopia commune. yes, the economy was better but if you think that matters why the fuck would you keep voting for the people in power now? you can be fooled by politicians but yet when our parents' generation are (when they were your age) somehow that's inexcusable?
