Gavin McInnis on Baby Boomers

Why not some aspects of the "peace and love" world preached by many of the youthful Boomers during the 1960s. Not suggesting we be promiscuous and stone out on whatever, but at least more of the love one another ethic that they supposedly valued. I often wonder if the old "free love" crowd ended up becoming some of the most uptight people once they reached their midlife zone. If we can't put capitalism to bed, how about attempting some return to the more benign form we had in the postwar years, where it was possible for someone to work at a job they liked for 20+ years. It is obvious that companies don't value that kind of loyalty today. A sharing energy concept would be nice as well; one where we are not nearly as wasteful as we have been. This may be where outfits such as Uber and Airbnb come in. But the jury is still out on this one, I do believe.
