“OpenAI exec becomes top Trump donor with $25 million gift. Greg Brockman, the ChatGPT-maker’s president, is helping fund Republicans’ congressional fights:”

He wrote in his diary that he wanted $1B for himself.
Not like in a fanciful, thought experiment way, in a that was his actual personal goal way.
So he wanted to hoard 10,000 six figure (100k) salaries for himself.
Why is he allowed to walk free in society? Why is someone with a goal like that not immediately thrown in prison?
You wanna know why we can’t have nice things? It’s not because of boomers, it’s because we allow rich assholes like these two to openly rob us of the fruits of our labour.
Why does a tech bro wanting to be a billionaire let the boomers off the hook?
Because literally everyone older than us didn’t do this to us. The rich upper class of them did, just like the rich upper class of young tech bros are screwing us over now.
It’s never been a generational issue, it’s always been a class issue.
Plus, the wave of anti-boomer hate is literally a massive marketing campaign paid for by the former head of Blackstone, all to get the young generation of Americans to hate social security so it could be run by private capital.
Who elected Ronald Reagan twice, and George Bush, and George W. Bush? Who elected Trump?
I agree with you that the hyperbolic assertion that “every person older than us caused these problems” is wrong. But I also disagree with you that this somehow forgives boomers.
Their largest cohorts left us a dumpster fire and they’re doing everything they can on their way out to keep it burning.
Who elected Trump?
By your logic, you did.
I get the sentiment/frustration, but I suppose they’re trying to say “there are boomers who understand how greedy this is and there are people younger than the boomer generation who perpetuate and vote for these greedy, unsustainable practices”.
I agree with those assertions. I think they’re going a few steps further than that too though. And that is where I’m trying to understand the thinking.
Vacant and dead eyes
He should aspire to that instead of aspiring to be a billionaire.
