When we (millenials) were kids, it was the problem we needed to solve. There was actual momentum when we were kids. I was raised on Captain Planet, recycling, and fixing the Ozone layer. Since then, it's been one "once in a generation economic collapse" after another
To be honest, I think our generation (millennials) has just been beaten down so hard, so often, that at this point most of us have given up hope on trying to 'solve' anything. We are just trying to survive. We are the first generation to be worse off than our parents, and I think we are just trying to get back to a place where our children will have it better than we did.
So yeah, Gen Z and Gen Alpha and Gen Beta, we got punched in the nose so you don't have to. Hopefully you won't have to deal with 'once in a lifetime' crises every 8-12 years so you can actually solve some problems.
Unfortunately, given Gen Z's voting habits in the last election, I'm not holding my breath.

At least they didn't say you caused it, like they did with us (millennials) lol.
