It's stupid comparison, as others have pointed out. Also, why not 100 or 1000 years? Previous generations had their spiel of "our goal is to make things better for the next generation". That doesn't seem to hold true as much these days. Within my lifetime power went from being "cheap" when I was a kid to jumping up massively in price (some thanks to Russia) so it's not really so great anyway. And maybe I can buy 51 years of light, but my generation can't buy a fucking house to live in. As a millennial the saddest thing is that we don't have enough political clout to pull rank and get things solved for the zoomers ahead of time. Perhaps if we pulled together and voted (bc ofc only older people vote in large numbers)...but I think the crux of the issue, around the world even, is that the only candidates we have to vote for are in their 70s. What we need is more 30-40 candidates, if mils and zooms of voting age pull together we could get some real change.
