I don't blame old people, they lived the best of times, their lives were comfortable because they were in a boom. They had high hopes, had kids with a bright future in mind for them, but things change, some see it, others are oblivious to it.

it's not "things change" all the current mess was created by them in the decades after the time period of the op tweet

A lot of the world's problems are generally made by the greed of mankind in general.

I 100% blame them for pulling the ladder up behind them.

If the roles switched we'd probably do the same.

It's still fair to blame them. Old people blame young people for everything afterall.

My parents don't, well not completely. They know the world be screwed up, but they also think there's a degree of responsibility on my part too. We are all stuck in this shit show together, and old people thought they'd be dead long before it got really really bad, but Trump SA'd the money, and now we all get to suffer.

I'd keep friends and loved ones close.
