    Stories like these make me feel better about being over 70.

    At least I won’t be around for the worst of what is coming

      I am terrified for my children’s futures, for the children who aren’t mine, just the same.

      “Glad I won’t be there” how selfish.

      The grandpa part is what worries me. Your children and their children will inherit this problem. You are the generation that has all the time and money and influence now. Maybe fight that shit if you still can.

      I’m 40 and I calm myself down by remembering that my time on earth is temporary, I’m not joking.

      I’m certainly envious. Plus your opportunity to buy a house for fast food wages back in the day

          All we got was to have our childhoods scarred by 9/11, watch our friends be ruined by war and to witness social media rise up and destroy every society.

          We did have the Macarena, YTMND and cat memes (back before anyone knew what “meme” meant)…
