Extremely well put. Keep posting. We need more of this message circulating. The era of the American dream, created by bankers for the benefit of bankers, and exported globally, is well and truly over. Great stack. Thanks for sharing.

Time to lay the foundation for a new dream.

The old one is dead

Start working folks:

This is going to involve a lot of OT!

I agree with every word . I'm ashamed of my generation and what we have become. The sooner our children's generation take over the better.

I’m not quite so self effacing or pessimistic about the Boomers. They, like they’re grandchildren, simply were not, or are not prepared for the Machiavellian intellect preserving itself, once again as “The Savior”.

100 years ago, Gen B’s parents and grandparents did not recognize the wolf when he came to door: offering comfort and shelter from the cold. That led to the slaughter of almost 200 million people. They also taught their GenB children some of their worst values: some swallowed it, s

some refused, and sone survived the poison : so they could show their GenZ, and Millenial children: how to NOT to accept that poison apple if it’s offered.

Though I agree with your factual presentation of the situation in which we have led ourselves : a wilderness without reason or rhyme, save that of narcissistic self involvement:

I must disagree with the generation ism so profound into today’s discourse: which is yet another form of self absolution and hypocrisy.

Boomers are no worse, OR BETTER, than their predecessors: They and their parents, had not the curiosity, training, or academic knowledge to address the evil they were facing when it literally stood before them and held out the poisoned apple 🍎 for consumption. The only reason we do now is due to the tripling of data and it’s all consuming 24/7 availability. Yet, that availability is now becoming another poisoned apple : but to their credit : some are refusing to take that bite: not because they suspect it, but because they’ve lived through far too many poison peddlers and the lethal affects of their drugs. GenZ(?), is also very easily manipulated as can be seen by the cancel culture and it’s affect upon them. YET: they are beginning to listen to the wisest amongst THEIR elders, (those selfish , traitorous , despicably selfish, Boomers). They’re still very much needed, because they HAVE survived it : the deception, manipulation, violence, slaughter, the rage, and the hate. GenZoomers and Millennials still realize that mom, dad, and grand pop/mom survived for a PURPOSE and a REASON. THEY listened to the wisest of THEIR elders: that’s why they’re still here. They know the way to deception, and extinction, and they’re the ones that can show HOW TO FIND the way OUT.

If GenZ’s and Millennials (and perhaps some GenX’s still hanging on(?):

LISTEN , like their elders DIDN’T(?);

They can take the survival road map and learn how to navigate it:

So they won’t betray THEIR children.
