Blaming Boomers might make you feel better for half a second but the truth is their political leaders mislead them too. There is a reason Trump saying he was going to "drain the swamp" appealed to so many people.

Boomers, lower class citizens, Republicans, Hispanics, whites etc are all people who deserve not to suffer.

If the priority is to minimize suffering then labels stop mattering because people start actually seeing the big picture. When you can't see the big picture you up being mad at a ghost that's been created in your head. You're angry at something you will never be able to actually see or meet because you over-classify a classification.

    Portable cameras were NOT this good when airlines allowed smoking. You ever see a pic of a ps1/GameCube display at Walmart? This is before THAT.

    I mean there's a huge reason for the loss of luxury on planes that everyone conveniently forgets

    Planes were EXPENSIVE, they were a luxury, and around the latter part of the 80s they figured out how to reduce the price. Tickets went from $500 to $50 for the exact same 1 hour flights to the exact same locations.

    There's a reason Ryanair became an instant success. People want to pay nothing for services rendered.

    It's not just that, they figured out a factory line that made the production cost of planes drastically drop too

    They're still not cheap to produce, but they went from exorbitantly expensive, might only have 10-25 flights per day to an airport has 1000s of flights per day
