My wife, also GenX, believes we are going to be “skipped” in many ways. The Boomers are overshadowing us in government (case in point: Trump and Biden). The Millenials are trying to force changes at a social level and get more entitled as time goes on. Gen Z is just brainwashed.
I have a feeling we’re going to continue to be the producers, and when we retire, things will start to fall apart. I hope I’m wrong, but things aren’t looking great.
I fear your wife is correct.
Gen X will start the crusades.
