They don’t give a fuck about anyone else. My parents are these people. They don’t care about legacy or the state of the world, as long as their social security is there and the retirement pension money flows. It’s all cruises, golf, bitching about the government and alcohol until they die. Zero growth mindset. I love them as people, but loathe their lifestyle and their lack of desire to fix what they helped bring to fruition. Comfort and security over what is right.
I agree. Everyone is to blame in some form or another. Each generation has passed its curse down to the next and will continue to because most people don’t know any better. Personally, I see the failings of my parents in raising me and have actively been reversing the damage middle class living can do on people, ie. not teaching children executive skills that promote independence and self reliance. It takes a growth mindset and action simply because it’s a choice a person must make. Manchildren and womenchildren are our generation’s curse.
