I saw three pretty large protests today around where I lived. Guess who showed up and gave the biggest display of support? Boomers.

As a millennial, I apologize for talking so much shit. Yall have done this before. You stood up in the 60s and 70s and here you are again, when we need it. Mad respect and thank you.

He tries. Everyone's only human, but I can certainly appreciate the sentiment on wanting your kids to be ok. I feel the same about mine. And I worry that he's going to be ok as he gets older. There's a lot of infrastructure needed to care for the people that built the roads before you, so we can continue to build roads leading to the future. If he loses his safety net, I won't expect one. And then where's the incentive to better society?
