  200 million Americans in 1970, 340 million now. The dream of a nice house with a big yard is limited by space; space that also requires farmland, forests, parks, etc… We need dense apartment buildings, not houses.

  Blaming all the world’s troubles on old people does jackshit for solving anything. I get it, many of you need a scapegoat and an arbitrary “generation” to blame is socially binding for you. But why “boomers”? When they die off, will you blame Gen X next? Then the millennials as they age; age like ALL people. If you really want to find root cause generations, look into those Nineteenth Century folks and their penchant for wanton industry and slavery. Or Roman Empire people with their imperialist expansion and Christianization… Or just sit on your hands and gripe about grandpa…

  I’m annoyed by celebrity culture, but geezus anti-celebrity culture can be just as insufferable.
  Just tune it out people.

  The generational level of “concern” can be measured in voter turnout data. It isn’t very good.

  Two questions: 1) Who you gonna blame when they’re all dead and 2) What are other, apparently superior “generations”, en masse, doing to realize a better world?

  This is wrong. It’s 20-25%. And the last 50 years includes a whole bunch on non-boomers and a massive industrialization of Asia. WTF is up with you people and “boomers”? There’s always going to be old people. And all of them were formerly young people.

  “They” elected the Republicans? Voter turnout then and now says all ages were/are complicit in sitting on their hands. Boomer hate, though trendy and scores internet points, does nothing to resolve the current world situation and the future… Boomers are dying off rapidly. Whose fault will it be next…?

  Ha ha sure, 200 years of Industrial Revolution but it’s the “boomers” fault.
