If narrative coherence is your expectation the only satisfactory resolution is not dig into and normalize the contractual minutiae of the legacy finance system but flush the finance industry and the politically coddled mess it created.

There is no narrative coherence to be found demanding the living honor social debts, contracts of history; yes children believe these successes you never witnessed happened! That surely cannot be used for ill gains.

This smells more like self selection bias. You have been successful and thus prefer care be taken tidying up systemic issues created by our ledger.

Am a Thomas Jefferson fan when it comes to generational churn; the only constant political rule should be to rewrite things every couple decades or the living end up ruled by fiat decree of the dead.

GenX; our economic leadership raising prices on EpiPen, running ponzi schemes through big tech investment vehicles (for example but not limited to, various trade groups and standards bodies), insurance CEOs getting shot. The last gasp of 1900s American coke and booze binging wastoids. First generation of Americans handed a cubicle and Excel sheet as they got into the workforce, rather than a hammer, blow torch, or engineering book as those jobs were offshored. The make line go up pump and dumpers of NFTs and web3 and shitcoins the last 10-15. Chappelle and Gervais complaining about the world changing on them! Of all people how dare physics march on. Clowns

GenZ hasn't had enough time to fail so spectacularly.

GenX; the Daria generation of first wordlers who feel they have really seen some shit ...on TV, anyway... all those adults too shellshocked by endless war... oh wait no; just sad about Kurt Cobain still

Oh those poor first worlders reliant on sweat shop kids.

The generation that 10-15 years ago chanted "disrupt!" GenX are now the age those Boomers were 10-15 years ago. Ripe for disruption

There are signs they're being handed their hat; Mamdani in NY. Let's hope this is a real trend: https://fortune.com/2025/08/07/gen-x-ceos-decreasing-baby-bo...

No reason to believe their numbers either given the shenanigans they have engaged in.

We need to be smart and not knee jerk into feel good memes though. Local gardens and community gardens have higher resource use per acre than large farm ops. Commercial farm infrastructure is far more resilient and lasts longer while consumer gardening gear is cheap and disposable. Consumer gardening gear manufacturers factories burn tons of resources to crank out tons of low quality kit, consumers burn through piles of it. That's not sustainable either.

Plus you really want the average American dumping chemicals in community ground water to grow the biggest pumpkin in the zip code?

Americans need to find common ground on the path forward not fragment into tens of millions of little resource intensive potato farmers

I like how we recognize this necessity to our biology but commit everyone to Hunger Games-lite performative, fiat (by decree alone), economics due to lack of political action in the face of some walking dead politicians who can't get through a day or week without handfuls of pills, they're that pathetic.

We are a deeply unserious society.

Anyway; good luck going viral online, everyone. I got lucky, have had generational wealth in my back pocket since birth, am off the hook for you by our social norms. Hopefully it works out for you because I and the rest of us won't be engaged in political action on your behalf. Dance for the organ!
