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.
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.
These stupid boomers still think they're going to Mars...
I think deep down they know they're gonna die. They don't care about the future either way.
You should get out more. Most of the world is beautiful. Look for the good and you will find it!
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
The weather is beautiful where I live. There’s plenty of room if you don’t mind having cows as neighbors.
Are you a troll or do you actually think your tiny little bubble is indicative of what the entire planet is going through?
I don’t know. I’m just grateful for my wonderful life! What are you thankful for?
Alright well whichever you are, your deflection and arguments are lackluster. I'm gonna stop responding.
Thanks, have a good one.
We'll have to reinvent food abundance after climate change, ground water depletion and soil erosion are finishing up with the current one.
A great business opportunity, go for it!
If you are looking at the possibility of global food and water shortages as a business opportunity well then you might be part of the problem...
The problem is also the solution! Many great people will work very hard to solve the problem, you needn’t fret about it. Just keep your door dash app up to date.
That is the opposite of a business opportunity. That is a generation to multi generation project to rebuild and redesign our relationship with food. Some random startup is not fixing that.
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.
Prior to 1960 the concept was uncommon.
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?
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.
Holy shit, the audacity...
I don't disagree but I'm going to let these people yell at you because they scare me. I can't take anymore downvotes.
I cry every time…
