Young people shut down numerous cities protesting for action on climate change last year. Individually you have people like Boyan Slat. Young people do not have the political clout that the boomer generation has yet but they will in the next 20 or so years. That is why I'm hopeful for the future.

What does it say about society in general when younger generations collectively despise older generations to the point were they don't care, even find it funny that they are under threat from a deadly virus. For too long old men haven't planted any trees they wont sit under, instead they've harvested the trees for short term profits to invest in their property portfolios.

At my current work my main distraction is in my peripheral vision as I can see every move made by co-workers either side of me. I'm seriously considering buying sunglasses with side shields or some type of goggle, similar to a race horse. In the spirit of Cato the Elder, Open Offices must be destroyed!

>... so long as the bottom half are seeing improved living conditions.

What about western countries where people under 35 are dealing with high student debt, unaffordable housing, stagnate wages and "gig" economy jobs? Things look pretty glum unless you've got some form of inheritance on the horizon.

>The typical young Australian male is a pretty special breed - lazy, entitled, willfully ignorant and undereducated - the result of having it too good for too long.

I like to think HN hasn't digressed into the equivalent of youtube's comment section but reading comments like yours makes me reconsider. Pathetic comments like yours are destroying what was once a great community.
