You are not really addressing my point. I'm mentioning the fact that boomers are statistically less likely to support policies that help the situation and more likely to support policies that hurt the situation. You suggest that those before me had made efforts that are ineffective, but my point is that they statistically are working against me and my efforts.
I'm not blaming the weight of other passengers on the titanic because we are not passive participants in the world the way passengers were passive riders of the titanic. We are all able to affect change. I'm watching news reports of the titanic and advocating for life boat safety regulations and am upset that a bunch of other people are saying I'm making a mountain out of a molehill and there's no real reason to have more lifeboats because "some people lived".
Sure, plenty of people are at fault, but I can't just be upset that the ship lobby has a chokehold on regulation if I'm actively looking at people standing next to me who refuse to hold them accountable.
I agree with your point of view. And I also want to mention that Gen Z have much less "voting power” than the boomers. Just because of the demographic. And I also agree with Miller that the corporation owners took the money, but if we would want to regulate that, we don't have enough people to vote for it. There will be more boomers who would oppose. The same with the housing. At september 14, european civil initiative right-to-housing.eu will start collecting signatures to regulate rentals. And it will be much harder for gen Z to collect the signatures than it would be for boomers. I even spoke with millennials and they told me that they are against because they already bought a house and they dont wont to loose it value if the market would be regulated... So we even can not find cooperative generation to have equal number of votes = power, as boomes have now. And boomers with all that power just dont care - and this is why I blame them.
