Unrelated to what we're talking about, but I still remember briefly switching to Winstons in the 90s because I saw an ad with Frank Zappa smoking one on the back of a rolling stone magazine. I still remember that every time I see Winstons in any context.

It's horrifying how effective that marketing was.

Portable cameras were NOT this good when airlines allowed smoking. You ever see a pic of a ps1/GameCube display at Walmart? This is before THAT.

There are example shots, e.g. here's one from the Nikon F2, which was introduced in 1971:

Blaming Boomers might make you feel better for half a second but the truth is their political leaders mislead them too. There is a reason Trump saying he was going to "drain the swamp" appealed to so many people.

Boomers, lower class citizens, Republicans, Hispanics, whites etc are all people who deserve not to suffer.

If the priority is to minimize suffering then labels stop mattering because people start actually seeing the big picture. When you can't see the big picture you up being mad at a ghost that's been created in your head. You're angry at something you will never be able to actually see or meet because you over-classify a classification.

I agree. You can only track a span of time when referring to a whole generation of people. As in, "something happened during that time". It was not caused by all of the people included in the generalization. Most likely in the past, as it is today, it's the 10% of the greed monkeys in any generation that you can point to, not the whole shebang.

Yeah it would be like blaming millennials for going to war with Iran or the 30% inflation that's happened over the last 6 years or the massive changes that's happened with the government.

Pointing fingers doesn't change anything and if you believe a certain group caused the problems people are seeing today then what are the people today doing to fix it because they are next up to be blamed.
