Hmmm. As a Genxer, I have a lot nicer and cheaper things than my grandparents had in material terms, but .... they didn’t carry a gun to feel safer going to the grocery store. They didn’t press 2 for English. They didn’t have to pay for private school tuition to send their children to a non-zoo environment to learn. There were no trannies reading to their children at the local library. There were no dudes holding hands at their churches. They didn’t even lock their doors at night. They didn’t have to pay inflated prices for housing to live in “nice neighborhoods” with “good schools.”

We have a lot more money now, it’s true. We also have Tinder, porn available on our phones, and more than a dozen seasons of Keeping Up With the Kardashians. What a great time to be alive. Let’s not pretend that we haven’t lost a few things along the way to all of this prosperity. Where the millennials are wrong is in thinking it’s just about money. Same mistake that got us in this degenerate mess in the first place.

Agreed. My grandparents, even my suburban baby boomer parents lived a much more 'organic' lifestyle than what we have now.

I don't know my neighbor's name who lives across the street. Never see them. Kids don't ride bikes around our neighborhood anymore.
