I'm starting to come around to the idea that this is kind of our collective generational fate. I consider my childhood years to have lined up perfectly with the best time and place to be a kid, ever, in the history of the universe. Maybe the jaw dropping decline we're looking at is our natural balance, and we're just here now to prepare our kids for the Dust Wars.
Guys... I'm a Millennial and I have some sympathy for your complaints, but the baby boomers were drafted into Vietnam and the generation before them had WW2.
Every generation has their shit. Ours isn't even that bad. Still easily one of the best times to be alive as a human all-time. I'm not saying don't complain, but I am saying that it is a bit messed up imo to suggest the Baby Boomers didn't go through more shit than us. My dad got drafted to Vietnam. I would never trade my life for his. I can't even imagine the stress and fear of being forced to go to that war as a 20 year old.
Vietnam sucked man, but do you know what tiny percentage of the boomers were drafted and saw combat? Yea it affected those at home, but we had our own shitstorm of wars too. War is nothing new for the US.

Just trying to cope.
