At first I thought this was about the guy with the biggest nose I've ever seen.
GenX here, my entire generation is a meme about being abandoned and left to figure it all out on our own.
The pumps failed. They blew the levy to save the wealthy sector and intentionally flood out the poor black sector of town. This was due to negligence by the government. They knew they were playing with fire by not keeping everything working in good condition. It was a disaster waiting to happen and everyone knew it.
Literally no one I know is like that, but I'm from a red community. The only people I know who didn't have kids had fertility issues and wanted kids. One couple had the money to adopt instead. The other couple didn't and so they remain childless not by choice.
