Interesting, I am one of those boomers. my insurance runs out Monday and I am selling my vehicle. This is by choice as I am going blind. I absolutely refuse to be one of those old farts that kills people by driving because they want a pack of smokes or some candy.

My scooter arrives in 2 weeks. I already have my pirate flag, and lots of cool stickers ready for it.

The world they created for themselves. Stupid shits.

I know exactly one boomer that supports public transit over cars.

If we had robust public transport for everyone, this wouldnt be as big an issue.

Dont forget that it is not generation vs generation, its the 1% vs the working class.

Perfect age for running a fucking country. Hire them to the US gov immediately. They'll fit right in.

Or you can view it as living in a system which may, and often does, compel all of us to eventually visit potentially deadly violence on someone else.”

I was just Watching Dead to me, which is a show about good people doing horrible things, and two of the three seasons settle on accidentally killing someone with a car.

That is to say the question "how do we have a character remain sympathetic after they've killed someone?" is "easy! we'll put them behind the wheel!"

Just as the question,"How do we make this bank-robbing villain sympathetic?" is answered by "make them have to pay for their child's treatable illness."

We could build a better society just around making writers' jobs more difficult.

This seems like stochastic terrorism combined with impunity.

It is kind of fascinating how the generational war is so lopsided. The peaceful solution, since they refuse change, is to flee and to abandon.

A sane person would think this could maybe help encourage people to push for bus routes

It is not just a boomer thing.

"may"?

Japanese dashcam videos are a preview of what horrors to come.

Who could have possibly seen this coming??

In what fucking world is it ok to avoid jail because you're fucking old. If she's too old to go to jail then we need an option to euthanize elderly criminals.

My 95 year old mother in law picked me up at the airport and still goes golfing each week pushing her clubs around the golf course. I trust her than most kids on the road. However, She is much different than my 80 year old mother where the doctor took away her handicap pass because she kept hitting cars in the parking lot.

This fucking terrifies me. My mom is 79, living in the most rural place ever, wtf is she gonna do when she has to give up her license? P.s. if anyone else has been in this situation what did you do?

At around 84, my dad caused a small fender-bender, that's when my sister told him he had to stop driving. He couldn't turn his head to see behind him. That sucked for my sister, because it fell on her to get him out of the house for grocery shopping, etc. She was the only one who still lived in the same state. He ended up in an assisted living home for the last two years of his life with dementia.

Public transportation is great, but they don't go into the suburbs. I suppose Uber and Lyft are the solution there, but my dad had no idea how to do that, he didn't own a cell phone.

Capitalism has been fucking us hard for over 100 years, the offenses keep piling up, and only now are people starting to realize how bad it's gotten.

Good, insurance premiums are about to go up, like all of them, health, auto, death by boomer insurance...
