Generational injustice: Why the hell are we so flattered?

The article discusses the perceived imbalance in resource distribution between generations, particularly focusing on how younger people are often criticized for their consumption habits while older individuals receive excessive attention and marketing efforts. The author recounts receiving numerous flattering messages and offers from companies like a wine depot, energy provider, and others, which he views as manipulative attempts to secure his business rather than genuine engagement. He contrasts this with the lack of similar support or understanding for older adults who may struggle with financial or technological challenges. The piece highlights concerns about intergenerational fairness, suggesting that younger generations bear the brunt of responsibility for global issues like climate change and inequality, while older generations enjoy continued economic and social benefits.
