But an insane president will bluster about things he doesn’t want to actually do (like Canada and Greenland) as a distraction to keep us focused on this nonsense while he raids the government coffers for all the retirement money he can get his grubbly diseased hands on.
If teleportation gets invented, countries will cease to exist. Instead you will have Polities (polity). Boarders and location would have nothing to do with what polity you lived in.
Late Gen X. I’m an outside watching boomers and millennials duke it out like a drunken bar fight.
I can’t argue with that. But as a late Gen X, I graduated highschool at the time when my age was the wealthiest generation in human history. The politics that led us here is not just Boomers fault. Millennials, Gen X, and even the Silent Gen have blame here too. We were all too happy to see Clinton continue Reagan’s pandering and then felt shoehorned into most of this by the 911 attacks. The economy collapsed and then Bush’s policies totally saved us… for a few years. Then the recession hit and the Bush era legal changed wrecked our ability to regulate our government officials leaving us vulnerable to corporate slavery.
Silent Gen raised Gen X which raised Gen Z. Seems simple enough to me.
Also, millennials are just Boomers replayed. Hippies are almost a mirror image of millennials. I totally can’t wait (sarcastic) for them to turn into yuppies (they already have) and become overtly materialistic to the point of robbing their own childrens’ futures to keep up with the rising cost of avocados.
As an American, I absolutely love this.
Years ago we had the kids at the zoo. My son noticed something and called his little sister over (10 & 8 at the time). He said “look, those kids are about to get in trouble” while pointing at some kids chasing a swan on the other side of a river. Sure enough, their mom noticed and started yelling at them. Which made my kids erupt in laughter like it was the greatest thing.
