Instead of groiping about problems all the time, we should also be thankful for all the great things they invented, like microchips and food abundance.
Not sure why you’re assuming the people smart enough to create these major inventions aren’t also smart enough to understand their generation as a whole helped barrel us towards a climate disaster

Food abundance? Have you seen food prices lately?
Have you gone hungry lately, or are you struggling to shed a few kilos like most of us?
Are those things supposed to make up for the mass extinction event they caused?
I think their accomplishments weigh favorably in the balance

I don’t think anything can possibly balance the massive, irreparable destruction that’s been done to this planet, but I guess that’s just me.
You should get out more. Most of the world is beautiful. Look for the good and you will find it!

Borlaug, Kilby and Noyce were all greatest generation. I don’t think they were parenting lemmy users.
True but employee #849004 at Intel keeps their system producing for us.
Food abundance came as a result of the industrial revolution, which started waaay before our parents were born.
Supermarkets haven’t been around that long. The wide variety we satisfy our picky apppetites with is miraculous!
You think supermarkets were invented by boomers?
You admit, then, that food prices are made up to gouge us and have nothing to do with actual scarcity?
All product pricing is a complicated result of the economy. Thankfully scarcity is not a significant factor.
If scarcity is not the only factor, the prices are made up and we are being stolen from.
