That’s just Jenny, the girl with the green ribbon.

“Get away from me.”

*moisturizer, sunscreen, genetics

And exploitation. And extortion.

*Meanwhile…Record Profits

“No one is better because he is bigger.”

Probably flu shot, maybe Covid booster?

But they’re also great kissers

*work for poverty wages while inflation hits 40-year highs, brought on by 14+ years of open-purse monetary policy.

Labor is always available at higher points on the supply curve.

“Charlie, ever played roulette?”

Especially ironic in San Diego, where literally anywhere in the city is a mere 15 minute drive to the Mexican border.

San Diego is full of the wildly entitled and elderly though, so the self-selecting personalities can’t be a surprise for anyone who has lived there.

“But have you considered our ever-rising quarterly profits?!”

Looks like a young, bald Bradley Whitford

Yeah. But if we’re talking about Baby Boomers, they really leaned into the “caused a mess and standing in the way of fixing it.”

For over 50 years they had every advantage that’s now denied young people, and as a cohort, Boomers are the shining example of failing upwards. They now roost at the top of whatever ladder they bumbled up and exist primarily to punch downwards.

So, I don’t know that your pattern holds true for the specific epoch of the last 50-60 years, as, for the first time in modern history younger generations are worse off than their parents or grandparents. And that blame can readily be heaped at the feet of “Generation Me,” who have broadly, and uniformly worked to maximize their personal wants at the cost of any economic, social, emotional, environmental, or financial impediment that got in their way. Even now, Baby Boomers suck the air out of politics and C-suites across the country, adamant that they are still relevant and that their opinions are as good as facts.

It’s hard for me to feel sympathy for them, when instance after instance of what brought us to this point can be directly tied to their behavior.

“We are the first to do this.” -every young cohort going back through time

I spent the last few years building up an immunity to nachos and bacon powder.

Now show me a field of socks

Every elder Millennial I know, including myself, nodding.

Boomers across the country still have china hutches FULL of these plates. With probably more plates in storage.

The fallacy is that anyone in the C Suite is distinctly smarter, or more wise than any reasonably proficient worker. They’re not. They most often simply had a better leg-up early in their careers, either through wealth, nepotism, or pure luck.
