Agreed. It’s called co-dependency and this Yuppie generation is THE most co-dependent generation since the ‘50’s. In fact they were born in ‘58 to a scared codependent middle class and grew up to love the Reagun Revolution without ever knowing what it was. They are now ‘65 and terrified that they won’t have “enough” to meet their every desire in retirement because Wall Street, the drunken bully they supported their entire lives, has let them down. They are a hollowed out, empty hearted people who plead “compassion fatigue” as they let the world burn while they support wars for oil and hate the Soviets who don’t even exist any more because it makes them feel secure. A sickening breed that is too slowly dying off.

That’s the benefit of death. And a new generation. Maybe. Hopefully.

Looks like it. Europe is just popping with climate rebellions and shutting down Universities. There hope.

Well, if it's any comfort, I am 68 now and expect to die off fairly soon. /s

It’s not. We’ve made a mess. We should stay and clean it up.

I’m sorry you got this reply sent to you. It was for John Van Steenbergan above in response to his saying he was 68 and going to die soon so I should be happy. 🤔. Substack is weird sometimes.
