        Your average boomer is now in their 70’s. They are buying up property and mistreating their kids. Life is good, they think. Then they find out the youth are eating an easy food combo they never even fucking heard about, but one that’s cheap and amazing. “Avocado Toast? What the fuck is this shit? Spike the prices on avocado! Push it out of their price range!” I’m sorry sir! Avocado is cheap. It’s easily farmed. “Spike the prices” they scream, remembering their days on the stock market. They expect reason. Dominance An end to avocado toast. But it never comes. They watch aghast as young people continue to consume avocado toast despite their anger, and they take it personally. “If it’s so good why didn’t I get to have it when I was young???” they scream. They all lose their minds as the avocado trees bloom.

      The only thing I’m proud of when looking at gen Z is that they are completely unwilling to go to war for the military complex and giving their life fighting a battle where they have nothing to gain but everything to lose. That’s way smarter than my generation or the baby boomers ever were.

        Are they though?

        "Post-millennials (also known as Generation Z or Gen Z), born from 1996 to the present, now constitute nearly 90% of the Army’s active duty junior enlisted and nearly 35% of all junior officers (Defense Manpower Data Center, 2018, p. 29). "
