I don't get the boomer hate.  There's only a handful of people shaping society.  Most boomers like most millenials and gen Zers are just living life, and are shaped by the handful of influential people.  It's idiotic to think that the whole generation should be blamed for where society went.
Our elders transitioned us from a point where racism was common place and frequent and in your face, to a place where we had to make new terms like "systemic racism" and "white privilege" to describe the racism you can't see.
We're all awakening together.  We're on the same journey.  We're all leaving the future a better place.  And the generations ahead of us will see the problems they face and wonder why we didn't foresee them and stop it. 

It ain't boomer hate, it's manning up, and being embarrassed the hubris of my generation.  It's my personal observation and opinion, equivocate all you want.  What we have handed off to the next generation is a steaming pile, and certainly not better than we were given.
In terms of what metrics?

My opinion.  Second sentence, qualifies my statement.

That’s fair.


I think there’s been a lot of good things done that have
moved things in the right direction.


Crime and Violence are at their lowest levels in many
years.  Many metrics for racism has been
trending downwards for years.  Global
poverty has been reduced dramatically.  Overall
standard of living is way up.  The Ozone
hole is the smallest it’s been since 1982.

Yeah there is a lot of things you put out there, how good we have been, and well said.  Some may say you were baiting the topic and I may concur, in fact I would say you maybe a true master.  So tonight feel good you are the best master baiter of the board.
