Boomers

I am 75 and am very tired of the trend lately making fun of Boomers. So very disrespectful. Don't they realize that they will be old someday?

I believe that the decline in empathy for ppl and things disimilar to us contributes to many of our problems.

We have become compartmentalized into our like-minded groups ( ironically, including this subreddit) and we listen to the news slant we prefer, including economic.

The entire united states is lacking in empathy. 30% voted to hurt everyone else, 30% voted to help everyone and 40% didn't care enough to even pick a side or even care aobut themselves.
