  I completely agree with you. There might be some exceptions but in general what you say is true: when there’s a sea change, a zeigeist, young people are the first to sense it. You don’t get sweeping changes and protests at the senior care facility.

  I think it’s also that the young have less to lose and more to gain. Most gen Xer are sitting around on their hands because they stand to lose much more than they gain. They have mortgage and car payments, children, and health insurance. If anything breaks, that can all come tumbling down.

  The key word is “widescale”. The reason is that a malignant narcissist can get a small group of cultists to do anything. But in order to get a msg group of cultists to do something, he needs a propaganda machine like fox News and they have a much older demographic

  Food conglomerates had tried to sell a more efficient vision of the kitchen to working mothers:

  Less food prep time meant more time for family and career. But it also meant more sales of processed food and the extinction of the skills required to prepare food.

  The children of the seventies and eighties were among the first to experience this change toward preprepared foods.
