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.

It didn’t mention click bait going away, so I assume click bait will continue into the next generations.

Last I heard, there was still a Blockbuster video rental store in Bend, OR, and I’m pretty sure Casa Video is still open in Tucson.

A few VietNam veterans might want to have a word with you. Doubt you’re man enough to show up though.

They didn’t care about the sustainment of organizations. They just wanted to use things up.

Take any organization that existed in 1963. It probably is gone or severely diminished as the boomers didn’t care to do membership drives, recruitments, or fund raisers. They wanted to part of of it, use it up, and to Hell with future generations.

Boomers were our last warrior generation, producing 10,000,000 veterans and fighting our 4th bloodiest war behind the Civil War, WWII, and WWI.

Greatest Generation was born between 1901 and 1927. Some of them were voting age during the FDR error. Their parents for sure helped vote that error into office.

"NOBODY EATS ON GOOD DISHES" ? Really?

Perhaps "NOBODY" you know, but I know Gen Xers who do and they though they save it for holidays and special events, they also DO use silver of ALL kinds...from eating utensils to ice bucket, serving dishes, and yes, even napkin rings!

Perhaps you and others don't care about your family history; however, as long as THAT is kept alive and photos have names on the back of them, old photos and photo albums WILL be kept and "family stories" will be handed down!

And I can tell you that my Gen Z Grand LOVES all of the old photos and family stories. No way will these things be thrown away, once I'm gone.

It goes further back than FDR.

1913. Wilson and his new world order chums illegally ratified the 16th amendment - income tax - and setup the Federal Reserve - a private banking cartel that controls the US currency and banking system.

Most people assume the FED is a part of the federal government. It is not. It is a banking cartel to which the federal government bends its knee.

1913 was the death of the republic. FDR was the icing on the cake. Our republic was dead and buried long before the boomers came along.

I’m guessing that’s the Dave Hunt book?

Dave was great

Photo albums go away as soon as nobody alive remembers who those people are.

Crazy. I can't get enough of old photos. The way everyday people lived is an endless source of fascination. I have photos of my Grandfather and his brothers, dressed in bowlers, woolen jackets and ties, just back from hunting, posing with their birds. Hard men in hard times.

One of the cool things is now being able to take those old Super 8 movies and using AI clean them up so they look like they were taken with a video camera.

Boomers are not the last warrior generation.

My cousin, a boomer born in 1948, did four tours in Vietnam as a helicopter pilot. Stayed in the military until his late 50's when he retired. He is a good, conservative, man.

Boomers are just narcissistic, stupid, and greedy whiners.

You really need to get out more and talk to boomers who are similar to my cousin. Perhaps that would open your eyes and you would do less whining.

Hard times create strong men.
Strong men create good times.
Good times create weak men.
Weak men create hard times.

The first two lines are the WW1 and WW2 generations.
The next two lines are the Boomers.

I’m a Boomer, btw.

Yep. Nearly 9 million served during that war (overseas and stateside) and there’s about 6 million still alive. I’d think they’d have plenty to say about their status as warriors. Well at least the 40% or so that were actually stationed in Vietnam. Not counting the 58,000 that literally gave all. RIP.

All that’s in museums. And it’s cool. But when it comes to keeping other people’s memories, dusting them, moving them, handing them down to another generation that never met any of them, most people see photo albums as a burden. Heck I don’t even think I kept the albums of the photos I took when I was a teen. I think the last move I looked at the books and couldn’t remember the last time I actually opened them and got rid of them.

No doubt about Wilson and his prog cronies. That crew and their supporters took a wrecking bar to the country. Progs that followed made sure to throw the pieces away.
