If Boomers had had the courage and generosity of the generation that went through the Great Depression, fought WW2, and still issued forth the Marshall plan and invested to bring their hated enemies out of totalitarianism into the light of true democracy and freedom, we would not have the nightmare we have today where dictators are rising all over the planet and gaining influence.
Imagine if after the Soviet Union fell, America had come in with billions of dollars in infrastructure aid, administration and officials to help Russia turn into a democracy what could have happened. Instead, the KGB saw the power vacuum and stepped in and sold off the country to oligarchs and turned Russia into a hell for it’s people.
Selfishness and idiocy will be the defining characteristics of the Baby Boomer generation.
Boomers suck.
