It wasn't great for everybody. I was speaking from personal experience.

Born in 58 as well and glad I got to be a kid when I did. Part of me would like to stick around to see what the future holds, the other part makes me kind of glad I won't be here a whole lot longer considering our current trajectory. One thing that gives me hope for future generations is I see younger people becoming more aware of the mistakes that have been made and they're making attempts to correct them.
