1. Spam Calls Posted on 12/02/2023 12:17:41 PM PST by DallasBiff
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.

Silverware and china cabinets? What are people going to use to put food on and eat with? And what happens to all of the silver that has been handed down for generations?
I doubt that certain members of the high social strata will ditch all of these things and the same is also true re photo albums and ancient unmounted tintypes and photos.
Spam calls? They come on smart phone too, not only the landline ones! So HOW will they be stopped?
Agreed. But they did fight a big azz war with brutal efficiency. FDR was a commie that made the great recessions into the great and long depression. Europe was a big contributor to it also.
And the “Greatest Generation” was alive in 1776.
This should be fun. Add: limited government and personal liberty.
I’m not a Boomer, nor am I a Boomer basher.
Here’s what isn’t going to disappear with the Boomers:
The real estate they’ve paid off.
The Baby Boomers were the Woodstock generation and the worst generation this country produced until they formed breeding pairs. They achieved self-actualization through moral exhibitionism and militant self-absorption, while ignoring the nobility their parents achieved by enduring the Depression and WW II.
Their parents misapplied worthwhile insights of Dr. Spock. His asymmetrical definition of common sense did not balance love and affection with standards for behavior, self-control, and respect. For many parents then, his definition of common sense meant providing every advantage they had missed.
In the process of catering to children’s feelings and preferences, the Greatest Generation raised defiant, narcissistic offspring who viewed gratification as a right. Rather than examples to emulate, Boomer parents were merely vending machines required to fulfill material desires during times of unimagined plenty.
These Boomers have an unprecedented focus on self. With them the divorce rate first exceeded the marriage rate. When in powerful positions they seek policies of moral diversity/perversity, and material comfort to transform the country from the Arsenal of Democracy into just another Gulag of apostasy, greed, and dependency.
Worst of all Boomers begat through multi-generational psychological incest a legacy of ideologically mutant children and grandchildren. The Boomer offspring have become the Snowflakes, Transgenders, and whatever of present times. These descendants are contra-educated to abhor the Constitution, the virtuous and valorous founding of our country, and classical liberal principles found in values of the Enlightenment. They are perpetual children without essential humanity; empty, ignorant, feckless, emotional, overactive, under challenged, and now can’t even figure out what sex they are.
I’ll give them silverware and china cabinets. Nobody eats on the “good” dishes. And the post boomer generations have learned to stop having dishes you don’t actually use. As for what happens to the silver: https://www.goodoletom.com/
Photo albums go away as soon as nobody alive remembers who those people are. I have tossed many many photos when dealing with dead relatives stuff.
Now spam call you’re right. Sadly, those ain’t ever dying.
No. The Greater Generation were teenagers in the 1930s (which is why they were of military service age in the 1940s). They never "gave" FDR or the New Deal to anyone.
White America
Yep The New Deal set the country back an extra ten years. Glad we’re not advancing up that hill anymore.
“Did anyone ever show gratitude for a SPAM call?”
I love SPAM calls.
“Hello. Is Marsha there?”
“I’m terribly sorry. Marsha died early this morning. Are you a friend?”
(Hilarity ensures.)
- Common sense
- Patriotism
- Spiritual sensitivity (belief in God)
All the subsequent generations are caterwauling about how they can't afford a home, or how rent is out of control, or generally how bad things are. Yet these same generations keep voting for Democrats because all the celebrities do and because the TeeVee tells them, and they continue to be flummoxed as why things are so bad and blame the greedy Boomers for taking everything.
Yeah, those "greedy Boomers" largely kept the Marxist Democrats at bay. You invited them in with open arms, because, you know, abortion and gay "pride" and stuff.
Well, pagers, VHS and video rental stores are on the list. Was the list made in 2000?
Things don’t disappear...they are replaced with the same end game in a different form.
click bait? is this what it has come to?
See ya there, Bro.
I quit wearing a suit to work when my employer quit paying me
professional wages. I would only wear a suit when in a professional environment.
I still write checks. My monthly water bills are by mail, no chance to use on-line payment.
Year of birth, 1955.
Boomers effed up because we spoiled our kids.
Boomers effed up because we allowed Democrats
to run the show.
Beauty of it all is, we got ours, and USA kids are stuck with the Democrats.
Full disclosure, my kids are doing just fine.
At the risk of intense flaming, we allowed women to raise the children as bubble wrapped babies afraid of their own shadows.
We did not allow our kids to be kids but rather to be smothered and forced into “safe” avenues.
The word “safe” became a manta and a curse. Thats where we messed up big time. Think of all the nonsense we did in the 80’s and 90’s...no dodgeball, no football, no toy guns, boys could not be boys but had to be as girls.
Thats where we messed up...giving them everything, smothering them and demanding nothing from them.
And I blame women in general for most of it....AND weak fathers who said nothing.
“””The greatest generation gave us the most prosperity ever known, to the boomers.”””
When you look at what happened to America you should take a look at that generation of 1900 to 1925.
In 1960 they would range in age from 35 years of age to age 60.
In 1970 ranging from age 45 to 70, think about what you know about the leadership of America in every institution, in the Congress, the Senate, the courts, the universities, corporations, the entertainment industry, social work fields, activist organizations like NOW and the ACLU, everywhere.
For more fun and games start pondering the generation that followed them, 1925-1945 and their age at the America shaping timelines.
