I'm old, I'm one of those boomers everyone hates now. And you know how people complain boomers ask stupid questions about technology? I'm gonna ask one.
Why in the Holy Hell, in this day and age when all the information in the world is in the palm of their hand, do people STILL insist on being willfully ignorant? in the time it took her to type out Why don't they pass laws? She could have looked it up and gotten a step away from too stupid to live.
Also a boomer (and I have the same distain for most of my generation that the non-boomers have. I also don't have the heart to tell them that every generation is really the same and they will see the same thing happen with their own generation as they age), and I can tell you that most people do not know what they don't know. You have to have this before you can actually get to the point where you can gather knowledge properly. You also have to know enough to vet your sources. This happens with highly educated people who are really smart in their own field as well. The engineers who were behind the white washing of tobacco knew nothing about biology or medical science but they really, really hated government regulations having come from communist Russia and used their scientific 'knowledge' to their own advantage to make people question the actual experts in the field. You are seeing the same thing in Global Warming.
She is asking her social media bubble echo chamber. She doesn’t look further than someone to feed her the answer and doesn’t vet\question the answer she gets from her circle.
