I personally cringe when I hear a friend js having a kid. All I can think of is how bad theyre going to have it. Hell id definitely have been better off being born 20 years earlier, but these new kids are REALLY screwed unless they have super rich parents.

“Nothing new under the sun” I suppose!

    Born 1949 would be awesome. After world war, then Woodstock, cheap housing, fucked up the world with their plastics, dead before its getting hot. These mfs had the best timespan ever.

      If youre white, definitely. I’d probably choose to be born in early 70s so I could have gotten into computing when it first become available outside of labs.

      But yeah capitalism only works for the already-haves. If youre late to the party fuck you. Why didn’t you buy a house when you were 12, idiot ?

        We don’t know what our asbestos and lead paint will be, and so we don’t worry about it. Neither did they, and it wasn’t a problem for them.

        That’s just complaining at a high level. Think about the gens before and after
