It's about time the electronics industry as a whole realises that innovation for the sake of innovation is rarely a good thing

Look, we can’t have TVs that last 15 years anymore!

We need to keep people buying every year or two. Otherwise line not go up! Don’t you understand that this is about protecting The Economy?!

Boomers economic policy is like if Issac Newton saw an apple falling from a tree, and came to the conclusion it would always accelerate at the same speed no matter what, even though the ground with the entire ass planet behind it is right fucking there.

Numbers can not constantly go up, it's just that's what was happening their whole lives and they can't accept that their childhoods was a blip and not how things always were and always will be.

They just can't wrap their heads around it. They have such shit tier empathy they can't comprehend that they're an exception.

A large number of the problems we currently face and will in the future come down to boomers being worse than their predecessors at grasping, understanding, and accepting their own impermanence and unimportance on the grand stage of reality.

Most of them need to have a series of existential crises or maybe read some fucking Satre so they can stop with the Me generation bullshit. It’s wild that the first generation to do LSD in mass is somehow the one that needs to experience ego death the most

To be fair Boomers didn't create this economic policy. Their parents elected Nixon, who broke the Bretton Woods agreement "temporarily", and then we adopted Keynesian macroeconomic policy afterwards to justify it.

Inb4 someone regurgitates a defense of this "boomer" policy and proves that it's not just them and never was. It's always been the rich and their loyal servants.
