Quote by I.M. Millennial

“After decades of shaping of the world, the Boomers are finally facing their end. It’s something we all must deal with one day. But when you’ve experienced power your whole life, the end of one’s life is the ultimate moment of being powerless in the face of something you can’t change. And they hate the very thought of it.”

And they’ve refused to cede authority and autonomy to the generations that follow. Even the Trailers live in the Boomers’ shadow.”

“The poorest person on earth is not the person who has no job, no cars, no money and no house. The poorest person is the one who has no vision. Visionlessness is poverty in disguise.”
