MODERATORS
Boomers pretend it's not a problem or don't give a shit. Gen-X (my generation) essentially threw up their hands a long time ago. Idk wtf the Millennials are doing. My best, advice, if you're Gen-z and can vote, do so.
I think Millennials are laying the foundations. Talking to parents/ old timers and discussing it. Millennials are basically the argumentative phase in the transition "you're wrong. He's why you need to change your opinion" also they are the ones that are making new departments and new policies in long established businesses. They are making the changes.
Gen Z are the "clean" generation. They don't need to argue and don't even act like it's up for discussion. They say we have a problem that everyone knows it is a problem, why aren't we fixing it in the way we should. They are the builders.
