i am middle aged man, i experienced life since before even computer and smartphone is a thing like today.

back then, i feel that life is much easier, what i mean easier is more simple life, less competition, less stress, fresh environment, and more happiness despite lack of technology.

but right now, everything is just too complicated despite of power of tech, internet, smartphone, and AI helps, i feel that life is much harder right now, what i mean is like competition is everywhere, stressful everyday, crowded city, and i easily depressed these days.

is it just me or everyone else can relate to what happens right now?

This isn't the boomers fault, what did they do? There is no reason we can't get good pay and cheap groceries now, aside from capitalists knowing they don't need to anymore.

All the boomers in government are the problem.

Fucking yanks have an 80yr old for fucks sake. Can't be any more out of touch then being older then most of your country.

Australia is no better really anyone in politics gets there sits there gets old and out of touch.

Their needs to be a hard limit on politicians so they don't run the country based on how it was as they grew up 65 years ago. That's an entirely different world

No politician, older or younger can make change without permission from the ruling class. In the case of capitalist countries that is the capitalist class. A younger politician won't change the fact that the capitalist class forces them to do there bidding for them.
