i think there is a fair amount of resentment by the younger generations for
the boomers having their cake and eating it too, at least in the US,
leaving them with fewer options and less than generous retirement prospects
its exactly that childish yearning for harmless utopias that made much of
the hippie left fairly insufferable people
