- trabant00 3y agoThat does not support that they "_always_ thought this", it only means that this happened in the past. Another interpretation is that periods of hardship are followed by ones of stability and the generation that lived through the hardship notices differences in their young.
- arrowsmith 3y agoEven if people have "always" thought this, that doesn't mean they're wrong to think it today or that the complaint has always been invalid. It's entirely possible that people have always been complaining about X and also that X is more prevalent today than it used to be.
