BLUNT + LOUD & CLEAR: I am not posting these off-Reddit for mockery entertainment + insults of Reddit or myself. I am documenting a pattern of USA media influence I have seen on Reddit.

They always love their grandkids but never their kids 🥀

Here in USA, where I was born and raised, I find since the 1990's that grandparents absolutely despise their grandchildren and great-grandchildren. They act all nice in person, but when it comes to climate change, housing prices, they do everything they possibly can to wreck the future of future generations of their family. I've seen this in many places I have lived in USA: Ohio, Indiana, Floridian, Texas, Arizona.

I moved into an RV full time in 1999 (working from home), I was only age 30, and I spent a lot of time around these retired grandparents who go on and on about how much they love their grandchildren. But my god, do they wish Hell on earth with their attitudes towards polluting the water and "drill baby drill" for oil, spreading plastics, food safety and baby food supply, politicians and leaders they want these grandchildren to live under, pro-Russian takeover of the world, etc.

Don't fall for their whole "I have compassion and love for my children's children" lines, a lot of them have have anti-compassion anti-empathy values of Elon Musk,

Yeah I see this. Our condo board is made up of grandmas and they always talk about their grandchildren. A guy in the condo had a assessment at his own expense on the ceiling insulation but they would not increase it. So he had the insulation just above his unit increased and pointed out his heat bill savings. Their response was to demand he remove this property that he stored in the attic. Even spent association funds on a lawyer about it. So not only not willing to lift a finger on climate but actively act against it due to I don't know what. Some kind of huburis. I agree with him that this is not love of your grandkids.
