It is no secret that my Generation Y now has to finance and put right all that the Boomers and especially Gen X have let decay for decades.
How could it be otherwise than that you are once again on the right and innocent side, a perpetually disadvantaged beacon, suffering under the stupidity of other people. And then came Superman.
Here, as if on a whim, an entire generation or even two are once again being blamed; previously it was teachers, then civil servants, the Chinese and Americans, but always pathologically blanketly the Others, which of course immediately makes one consider oneself on the right side—what else?
Such undifferentiated and naive argumentation should no longer be necessary nowadays, since through educational opportunities even accessible to everyone, anyone could know that such categorizations by humans (Generation xy etc.) are completely off the mark in many ways.
As my former boss said many years ago (also from such a guilty generation): "If someone is a jerk, then he is a jerk, no matter where he comes from."
And to stay with this dull choice of words, I would like to say: "What you are reproachfully whining about today in a blanket way, the Boomer generation settled during the lunch break with a stale filter coffee and a Gauloises in hand." (The discerning reader may please understand the thought behind this.) It is hardly possible to discuss constructively with those who categorize and sort people into boxes.
As was recently read here, when it comes to inheritance, you do not complain so much with widely outstretched hands about this unbearably guilty generation; then there is rather some pushing and shoving—oh dear.
