[quote=Anonymous]I'm in my 50s and a centrist so I don't agree with the pragmatics behind the progressive ideals but I see where they have merit. When DH and I graduated from grad school we had about 20K in debt and were able to pay off most of our costs by working or through TA fellow ships. Our lives would have been very different if we had come out with 600K in debt. Even state school costs have sky rocketed and due to the high cost of private colleges the competition to get into state schools is insane. DH and I have spent our working lives saving not only for retirement but saving for college for our kids and we're still worried. Our own parents are shocked at what college will cost for their grandkids.

The millenials will inherit climate change at a point where it can't be turned back. I think it certainly makes sense for them to care. Plus if they don't, well then the planet is absolutely screwed.

You can be old but you have to live in the current world. The past is gone and clinging to perceptions that defined a bygone era while blaming reality on the young is just delusion. [/quote]
