my mother, also a boomer, had the exact same response when we got onto the conversation of electric vehicles (she wanted to buy a new car; i recommended electric).
i didnt really know how to respond. i still dont understand why one would want to leave the world worse than how they found it.
conservatives will assume that your empathy for others is fake, that it must have been brainwashed into you. basically they think you’re an idiot. sorry
I was bemoaning the lack of action on global warming, and how all of civilization was at risk if we didn’t take action now, and my boomer mom replied,
“Why should I care? I’ll be dead by then!” 😞

Did you ask your Mom whether she has any kids who might still be around?
