1. Spam Calls

Spam calls may see a decline as baby boomers dwindle. People have become more tech-savvy and have access to advanced call-blocking and filtering technologies. Additionally, regulatory efforts and increased awareness are aimed at reducing spam calls, making it less likely for future generations to experience the same level of nuisance and intrusion.

The “Boomers” found it easy, thanks to the work of the “Greatest Generation”. And their offspring found it TOO easy, and their hearts and minds began to rot. The next generations after that was a waste of skin....

LOL...Romans had kitchens and while there were street vendor stalls ( of these "fast food shops have been unearthed, cleaned up and are now extant in Pompeii ! ), the upper middle and elite classes had servants who cooked in their homes. And all of this has been well known and well documented since archeologists began digging up stuff,l as well as ancient books written about such matters. Ovid wrote about a lot of different things, as did other ancients.

You just don't travel in the "right" circles/know people who read and are making judgement calls, for EVERYONE, on your own knowledge.

Is reading books way down from where it once was? yes, it probably is and I'm NOT arguing about that. But there are still people of ALL ages who DO read and yes, hard copy books. Are they all reading good stuff? I doubt that, but some still do and you'd be amazed at the ages I'm talking about.

Reality is far larger and more diverse than what you imagine it to be. And most of what you imagine is going to happen, is for the worse; not the better.

Go read a book..................................

"Yep The New Deal set the country back an extra ten years."

What about Johnson's "Great Society"? Talk about a really bad idea.. In my opinion, that ruined this nation and the young people that came after...

The greatest generation allowed communists to take over the schools and turn many of their children into commies. No so great. They also sent us on the road to massive deficeit spending also not so great. Millions of boomers served creditably in Vietnam. And I would guess that the vast majority of Trump supporters and J6 prisoners are boomers also.

But I guess that being born in a specific time period makes you “great” and in a different time period makes you a POS.

The entire nation did it’s part in WW2. Not just the 20 year olds.

Nobody said all. That’s you once again making things up to have an arguing point. Family photo albums us what it said. And family silver. And books is something you made up 100% all on your own.

Really dude. This entire thing is you against yourself. You completely misread what I say, freak out, shout, and then make-up arguments. Arguments that are always silly. So I’m leaving. If you want to continue to argue with yourself have fun. But don’t ping me.

Make telemarketers get a permit to allow robo calls. Fine and jail those without a permit.
Government love regulations will go for it.

The Greatest Generation dropped the ball.
Kinda my general idea.
Birth control pills opened the gates for marriage becoming optional. Families hardest hit and kids were lost to the Streets.

Then followed by...
“And how we burned in the camps later, thinking: What would things have been like if every security operative, when he went out at night to make an arrest, had been uncertain whether he would return alive and had to say good-bye to his family? Or if, during periods of mass arrests, as for example in Leningrad, when they arrested a quarter of the entire city, people had not simply sat there in their lairs, paling with terror at every bang of the downstairs door and at every step on the staircase, but had understood they had nothing left to lose and had boldly set up in the downstairs hall an ambush of half a dozen people with axes, hammers, pokers, or whatever else was at hand? After all, you knew ahead of time that those bluecaps were out at night for no good purpose. And you could be sure ahead of time that you’d be cracking the skull of a cutthroat.” ― Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn, The Gulag Archipelago 1918–1956

“We raised our kids to be hard working and self-reliant and they turned out well.”

I am finishing up raising the granddaughters by myself. 19 YO (U. of Idaho full ticket scholarship and also works on campus); 17 YO works on high school campus and is in accelerated college program; 16 YO does an amazing amount of babysitting). No problems at all (so far, knock, knock). All very much social conservatives and get involved in Christian learning activities with no prompting by me.

Awesome! Well done, grandpa! You are an absolute exemplar.

Kudos to the oldest for the full ticket scholarship, too. Go, Vandals! Friends were at the championship game in Moscow today.

“Birth control pills opened the gates for marriage becoming optional. Families hardest hit and kids were lost to the Streets.”

Looking at the effects of BC on women, it’s not worth it.

Women have been lied to for so many years.

Free sex is a lie and only benefits men and damages society at large.

Women have been lied to.
