Comments by "William Innes" (@williaminnes6635) on "How the Baby Boomers Ruined Society" video.
The carbon thing is mostly nonsense pushed by large corporations in order to drive down real wages. India and China alone have deleted any effort made meanwhile New York was supposed to be under water by now. It will take off in a similar way that the subprime loans took off, however, because there is now a lot of money in it where it is happening.

I believe Europe, Japan, and UK had periods of rebuilding, but I don't think that would have affected the boomers proper so much as the late silents - the people who are super boomers in America. Also, I'm disappointed in you for your take at 32:08. The key event which caused the subprime mortgage bubble was the passage of the Community Reinvestment Act under the Clinton administration.

The Carol Quigley thing does make me psyched to see the Millennials die off.

On the not passing things on, that applies to some boomers, yes, but...I have known enough people who are truly set due to the public equity, real estate, and private equity stakes they are set to inherit from their older boomer relatives, whether they have more or less of a sense of ownership of the family account. I don't know that I would term this one of your weaker videos, but it is the one with which I have had the most major disagreements based on my own readings of events. Your video on the Eastern Tradition for instance basically just WAS the Eastern Tradition history department class from undergrad minus the translations. *I found your video in which you blamed the collapse of the foundry region of North America on the entrenchment of Catholics in the labour movement who came from cultures that did not understand the benefits of free exchange and therefore began to strangle prospects for future generations by undermining the economic fundamentals which had built the industry highly enlightening as it very much tracks with what I have noticed.

You get some people like that who have a LOT of loyalty to their father's, uncle's, or grandfather's business, and are extremely conservative about their use of its resources, and you get others who look at it the less the way a farmer looks at a fruit tree than as a dog looks at a bag of kibble.
