researching, patenting and getting the fda greenlight for a drug costs a shitload, the rest of the world can thank our senior citizens for the existance of many of them. on the other hand, i don't give a fuck about the greatest generation--they've done more damage to the planet in their lifetimes than any other and left us with a fucking mess. so they stopped hitler-after the entire world knew he was going to do something relatively hostile or evil 5 years before he'd rebuilt the military to anything useful for the aggressive river-crossings those germans do every few centuries since ceasar divided gaul up. worst modern political decision ever, plus they fucked up the creation of pakistan and israel so they can eat cat food if they think they deserve shit. then the self-congratulatory geezers have to tie up traffic every other week with some parade celebrating defeating the evil they allowed to become so powerful.
