Exclamation Don't look now...

...but a movement by younger generations is gaining steam, with the attitude of letting older folks tough it out on their own, while allowing younger people back into public places/work...so that THEIR future finances & economy aren't forever destroyed.

Given that we've left them with massive debt, a planet that has become MORE polluted in the last few years, rising seas and other major global issues, it's not hard to figure where this attitude (from some)...is coming from.

It seems to me, that the lifelong philosophy of so many Baby Boomer's of "me first" is being successfully passed on...to some of our progeny.

I guess one positive of global warming, is that the pack ice has been decimated to a point where there aren't enough small icebergs left...to put older people on and shoving them off into the Arctic Ocean/Bering/Chukchi/Beaufort Sea(s).

As the saying goes..."payback can be a *itch."
