It's not exactly shocking that the people who have been the longest in their earning years hold the most wealth.
there's no such thing as difference in generations
"gen x" will just be in their place in 20 years
generational demarcations are pretty stupid. I'm fairly sure they were invented by realtors and music execs just as a way to walk into a room and define something new and exciting that doesn't really exist

I agree generation names are dumb but I’m not sure how else to describe people of an era.
Yes, I’m with you, wealth generation is a product of time. However, there is more to the story. Young people have seen their piece of the pie shrink over the past 30 years when taking a snapshot at relative ages.
The reason is a series of policy decisions that benefit the same group of people. A recent example would be increasing the age of RMDs.
Anyhoo, I may be trying to draw a connection that doesn’t exist. I would like to think/hope younger folks would be a little more mindful.

Oh it definitely exists. But when you talk about boomers you're also talking about the hippy generation. The generation that brought about the EPA, the national environmental quality act, and a bunch of other shit that people forget when bagging on the wastefulness and wealth of boomers.
A decent example in my mind is the boomer sierra club generation. Gained a wider foothold in the 60s, grown across the 70s 80s and 90s, they joined an existing elitist shit heel club started 50 years earlier by a rich immigrant who's legacy is kicking out indigenous people so other rich white people could enjoy a view and sip wine. They do almost literally the exact same thing now. Regular trips to europe to ski or hike, suing the forest service to keep out the dirty mountainbikers (even getting the wilderness act reworded to do this). And they use NEPA to do it.
My point? Money and the callousness of age are universal. No generation is any different. And even these assholes may have had some good intentions. You just get old and turn into a self righteous dick who will use any means available to fuck everyone else if it helps you. We'll do it too. Everything is just harder now post reagan. The asshole most of those so called liberals cringe at, but now act just like.

the entire story of where I live over the last 20 years
It really is quite amusing to me reading all the stories of horrific conditions Burning Man attendees are having to endure. Having to hike six miles on flat ground, lol.
Never been there but if that soil is like I think it is every step will have about 5lbs of peanut butter mud stuck to each foot.
Great now I'm hungry for mud.*

Leaving No Trace
Our community respects the environment. We are committed to leaving no physical trace of our activities wherever we gather. We clean up after ourselves and endeavor, whenever possible, to leave such places in a better state than when we found them.
The 10 Principles of Burning Man
Burning Man co-founder Larry Harvey wrote the 10 Principles in 2004 as guidelines for the newly-formed Regional Network. They were crafted not as a dictate of how people should be and act, but as a reflection of the community's ethos...

some of the OG greenwashing to make rich people think they can do whatever they want without consequence
that, plus the insanely growing cop presence and aggression, the corruption of the org that runs it, the refusal to cap attendee numbers, along with the growing creepy sausage fest factor were why I quit going
it was almost a third of the size when I first went. The leave no trace bullshit was always just sugar coating reality so attendees could consume guilt free.
it's just a loosely organized scam to make the org, the BLM and local cop jurisdictions rich. Notice how they use 'community participation' to get all the free labor? Borderline genius

This place hired a manager I used to work for to run their manufacturing operations. He was a complete idiot and used to constantly complain about all the hardships society threw at him because he was handsome, athletic, (and white).

Midnight was chosen by Usher as a symbol of the future to align with his departure from Las Vegas and release of “coming home”

At one point he was supposed to run an "after action review" about all the problems we had on a big project. I dug up a series of emails and meeting notes to show that I had made vehement arguments to try to prevent the very problems we had, and where he had turned down every single one of my detailed and logical arguments based on his gut feelings. Unfortunately this was during the pandemic and I could only laugh in his face virtually and not in person.

Antarctic sea-ice at 'mind-blowing' low alarms experts
The sea-ice surrounding Antarctica is well below any previous recorded winter level, satellite data shows, a worrying new benchmark for a region that once seemed resistant to global warming.

Not a breeder, so if the planet could just avoid being nuked or becoming uninhabitable for about another 30 years I'd appreciate it. Not sure that will work though.The point of no return was some time ago I think.

While I don't think we can "technology" our way out of climate change I suppose there are many examples of this kind of energy efficiency which could help offset increasing demands from breeders...

Ultra-white ceramic cools buildings with record-high 99.6% reflectivity
Scientists in Hong Kong have demonstrated a new ultra-white ceramic material that can drastically cool buildings by reflecting sunlight and heat at record highs. The beetle-inspired material gets its ability from its nanostructure, stays tough to the elements and should be relatively easy to scale…

2 degrees, 40 feet: Scientists who study Earth’s ice say we could be committed to disastrous sea level rise
A new report details that ice sheets are melting quicker than expected and that the world will need to ramp up its climate efforts to avert disastrous sea level rise.
Amazing how quickly we as a species have fucked all of this up.

Definitely overall cooler but at peak reflectivity times (high noonish) it actually increased air temperatures. It didn't shed heat for hours afterwords obviously so the net effect was better. Still kind of odd.

Wet Aotearoan Summers inbound.
- NIWA reported yesterday 2023 was Aotearoa-NZ’s second-warmest year ever behind 2022, while Auckland had its wettest year ever, including 265mm falling on Mangere Airport in six hours on January 27, which was a quarter of its usual rainfall for an entire year, and 561mm falling on February 13 in the Esk Valley, which is ten times the area’s usual rainfall for the entire month of February.
