This is what it was like when the people of the country worked together to make the future better for everyone. Not self improvement, not local; it was understood across the country that people should plant trees without expecting to sit in its shade. Plan for the future and give the next generation the best chance.
Those articles were written in the 60s. At the very least each author was born 18 years prior, part of the silent generation. The future they hoped, expected, and built was for boomers.
A generation of greed has killed almost all hope for future generations. It only took one to fuck it up for everyone else.
Well, on the bright side, the housing market will collapse in the next few decades as boomers die off/move to retirement homes, leaving a massive glut of housing (unless it all gets bought up by corporations). That’ll cause its own set of issues, but ample housing would certainly go a long way.

TO be fair, that generation is also kind of a bunch of cunts.

This will happen though. Unless we get to “adventure time” somehow before the boomers die which seems unlikely. We’re gonna have to get waay hungrier
Yeah so aside from housing being bought up by corporations, privatized health care will bleed that generation of the rest. There will be nothing left.
