I’m not a Boomer but this writer is nuts.

Blaming Boomers for the following makes no sense.

From the article:

“We’re scrambling to fix the environment because of their excesses. For years, and despite warnings, the boomers refused to recycle and ran companies that spewed ozone-destroying chemicals into the air. There are countless plots of land that are unusable because of chemicals and pesticides dumped by this generation. I’m no environmentalist, but even I have to shake my head at the destruction laid upon the planet over the past 40 years alone: decimated forests, extinct species, smog filled skies, islands of plastic floating in the ocean. Only recently are steps being taken by younger generations to attempt to reverse this trend.”

That was going on long before The Boomers were born.

Lets see...back in the 1950s into the 1960s we were recycling more than now. Diapers,milk,soda pop,butter,pie plates,beer,etc. I'm pushing 60 and had no control when and were I was born and I was volunteered into the Social Security System. Started my first job when I was 12 years old.Young folks today are total spoiled idiots. They wear shorts and a T-shirt outside in the middle of January and walk off cliffs and into traffic staring at those stupid phones. I see many slaves to technology out there. They just cannot think for themselves and look ridiculous holding on to those phones everywhere they go.
