This is drivel. Previous generations did have it easier than some recent ones.

Did I claim otherwise?

Of course we gen-Xers had it easier. And our boomer parents before us even more so. This is totally unrelated to what I said, which is that older folks tend to remember the world as better in the past than it truly was.

Also, America sucks and always will.

That is what I said. There is no better America in the past.

I can say with certainty that I had it way easier than my son.
