And I can’t even imagine it’s an intentional addition, it’s just become part of boiler plate legal documents here in the deep south.

The boomers destroyed all the old gods, and only now, facing their own mortality, have they begun to realize just how terrifying the ramifications of the world they created truly are where there is no God, no masters, only a narcissistic black hole of a world where monetary instruments have been mistaken for having inherent value rather than serving as a placeholder in a very poorly thought out, completely broken false economy
Oh you’re too good for the exact same (in reality, ludicrously better now than it was before) nursing home you let your own mother rot in for 20 years until she finally died, covered in her own piss? That’s crazy. What a crazy, insane plot twist absolutely no one could have ever foreseen. Ad nauseum.
Edit: you’re confusing his business with a functional company when in reality, like everything else in the lives of these people it’s just yet another monument to his own self worth and ego
To be fair, he did build a decent company. He’s only been coming out of pocket the last couple of years. I’m not trying to defend capital in any way, I’m just saying my wife needs a job, and the product they make isn’t munitions for the war effort. In fact, he’s mostly refused to sell to countries like Saudi Arabia that could feasibly use his product to hurt people in a roundabout way. He even switched to making PPE stuff during pandemic, and gave a lot of it away.
I agree with everything else you said though. I think a lot of boomers start out with decent intentions, but the world they grew up in taught them to be cynical, and it really sets in when the world around them changes, and they refuse to get out of the way of the next generation.
“The world they built is so nakedly self destructive, so very objectively harmful even they are starting to feel the pain, but the mild, passing discomfort in admitting fault for the first time in their entire life would literally be the worst thing that has ever happened to them, so of course going down with the ship is a far more reasonable course of action than allowing another captain to step in and possibly steer away from the iceberg.”
Just one man’s opinion. I’m fascinated by them, really. I deal with boomers all day ever day, I feel compassion of course but I cannot help but privately wonder how none of them ever realize they did all of this to themselves, in a thousand different ways, all day every day their entire life, it all has led to this, as inevitably as the river meeting the sea.
I’m not like, an advocate for organized religion or anything but their enthusiasm for rejecting any and all belief systems in favor of the all encompassing infatuation that entire generation manages to have with themselves is just an endless wellspring of neverending trauma for everyone else forced to live around them.
