@isaacfreeman But I do see your points and think we agree on the sentiment

The point being: So much activism, radical movement, and progress was indeed created and pushed forward by the boomer generation

We do not need to demonize boomers as having held the world back. It is a tactic to divide people and keep us from blaming those at fault: the powerful and wealthy

@isaacfreeman Fair points

The strongest activism that reached any achievement w Civil Rights happened in the late 60s thru mid 70s, and for ADA the late 70s (protests, sit-ins and the 504 occuptation). Yes, Carter was president in the late 70s when "he" put the solar panels up, but many of his staff were in their 20s & early 30s. Electric cars--yes, they date way back, but there was a push to get a line in production in the 90s led by Boomers (70s, too, but those were mostly prototypes)

Boomers didn’t fail the younger gens

The wealthy & powerful did

Boomers created the Civil Rights movement, the Americans With Disabilities Act, climate science. They put solar panels on the White House & made the first wave of electric vehicles

The ones who let the world down from a lack of political will were and still are the powerful & wealthy

Don’t let stereotypes about generations divide us!
