i mean they are right, it's just.. they're the ones responsible for ruining it..

around the 60's is when most of the world nuked its public transport infrastructure and bulldozed an absurd amount of area to build massive roads, and older cars were actually reasonably repairable and didn't have computers and antennas to send data about you to their parent company..

but they merrily switched to cars so they could enjoy the freedom of being stuck in traffic and having to ferry kids around everywhere, and merrily kept buying new cars that were progressively less repairable and ever increasing in size, until we're at the point where parents are backing over their own children because their cars are so grossly oversized that they can't see shit without cameras.

boomers were kids in the '60s. The folks backing over their kids are millenials and Gen Xrs.

You are missing by one generation. GenX is the MTV generation that started driving after mid 90's. Cars already started to get economical by then, at least in europe. It was those 60's children in the 70's and yuppies of 80's that favored big fuel guzzlers.

Have you seen the trend in American cars? Big inefficient monsters is the style.
