What does it say about society in general when younger generations collectively despise older generations to the point were they don't care, even find it funny that they are under threat from a deadly virus. For too long old men haven't planted any trees they wont sit under, instead they've harvested the trees for short term profits to invest in their property portfolios.

Sure. That's why I see hordes of young people trying to reverse the "damage" the old generation has infliced upon the world. What I see is that most young people are self-centered A##oles.

This, but unironically.

Young people shut down numerous cities protesting for action on climate change last year. Individually you have people like Boyan Slat. Young people do not have the political clout that the boomer generation has yet but they will in the next 20 or so years. That is why I'm hopeful for the future.
