      i told my mother (boomer generation) that now that she’s 70 she should think about planting a tree she will never see grow.

      she looked at me like i told her to go fuck herself and told me that was dumb.

      the boomer problem is an everyone problem.

        Not all boomers.

        Also, I don’t see all that much difference in boomer attitudes than some of the ones I see/saw in the Silent Generation and the “Greatest” Generation when it comes to at least a subset of them being very conservative and selfish in older age.
