You're spot on. I spent 5 years working at a community college in CA and yeah they were all phonies, with a bloated administration sucking up all the $$. The profs were virtue-signaling cowards. It was unbearable when covid hit, so that's when I left.

I am a Boomer who stayed home and raised three children. At 76 I have watched and seen it all. The destruction of our towns by Wal-Marts, 7-Elevens, magnificent miles of car dealerships, & every chain store & fast food restaurant you can name … so every town looks exactly the same w/ all small businesses & exceptionalism ruined. I’ve watched the blue skies & puffy clouds disappear to dreary, gray sameness day after day. I’ve watched the beauty of lovely architecture, gorgeous fields & neighborhoods of trees, shrubs, & bushes disappear into concrete jungles with hideous flat square buildings that are depressing to look at. And murder to the human soul. I’ve watched people go from gloves, dresses, suits & heels on the airplanes to pajamas & bed head. I’ve watched schools go from disciplined formal teaching, w/ plenty of recess & lunch ladies cooking the meals to social engineering, chaos, unlimited days off, no recess & fattening, processed garbage for food.
I could go on & on. “They” have destroyed everything they possibly could. They ruined beauty in every way. They took everything away that gave life meaning. If it weren’t for my children and my faith in God I probably would not be here. So, the Boomers may be responsible but I don’t know what we could do to stop them. Just as I don’t know how to stop the unhinged, repulsive people doing everything in their power to destroy Trump. Voting in my Blue town is an exercise in futility, but I do it. And I pray.
Well said - this is my exact take on what they've done to towns and cities since the 1970s. It's horrific. And all we really CAN do is pray, and I think that's powerful and important. I honestly don't see any of that reversing in my lifetime and I've come to accept that. So I moved somewhere that still has lots of natural beauty (for now - although the Woke Jacobin Commies are working on destroying it and making it another concrete "info center"), and if that disappears, I'll keep moving.
I’m 10 years younger and could have written this. The tragedy is I suspect most people under the age of 30 have no idea what they’ve lost so they won’t do a thing to try to get it back. I don’t know what’s worse - the “crudscape” or the relentless aerial spraying. It’s like something opened the gates of Hell in the early 70s.

I couldn't have said it better, Mary!

Spot on Mary. May I translate what you said into “society, guided by grabberment, has become a leaking bag of kitchen garbage…”
<<grabberment>>
Good one!
