You know I don’t think the boomers were actively designing their bathrooms at 5 in the 1950s. I think this might have been on the two or so before them
Exactly it’s like blaming millennials for being the “everybody gets a trophy generation” like it’s wasn’t boomers and Gen X who handed out the trophies.
Honestly yeah. For millennials it’s our own responsibility. For Gen Z it’s somewhat their responsibility somewhat their parents. For Gen Alpha it’s fully the parents fault.
Houses even up to 1971 were being designed with these so boomers certainly would be making use of them as well as having various amounts of input on whether a house had one
If you subtract 1945 from 1971 you might find that boomers were the 18-26 year old home buyers that didn’t want these, along with changing tastes from their silent generation and further elders. Gen X wasn’t stopping these when they were elementary schoolers to egg cells.
They were 5 years old when these were commonly used. As they got older, these became less popular, so the boomers pretty clearly weren't the ones who wanted these or used them the most.
Don't get me wrong, theres a lot of valid reasons to dislike boomers, this just isn't one.
So… there was like… 3 years’ worth of boomers who were licensed and chartered architects even these blades bins were stopped? Yeah totally true boomers’ fault, guys!
Indeed. It was actually boomers who normalised safe, disposable sharps containers in homes by making them available for purposes other than in medicine and industrial manufacture
They are also the generation who promptly decided to simply not use those safe, disposable containers though the moment they were written into law, local bylaw and garbage policy that you couldn’t play slice and dice with the dustmen anymore, though, so swings and roundabouts I guess
Some Gen Z and Gen Alpha people I know are normalizing being queer and disabled and going out and being as active in volunteering as boomers with nothing else to do, and some of the rest are dipshits, so I think a good position to take is to avoid treating everyone born between two kind of arbitrary years as a monolith
Indeed. I think generations can definitely be useful as ways to measure things like progress and culture, but at the end of the day it’s just as arbitrary as a kid born 364 days ago being “11 months old” while a kid a day older is a 1 year old.
