The whole idea of classifying generations as Boomers, Gen X, Y, Z, Millennials, etc. is just more Identity Politics.
The perpetuators of this nonsense are trying to get everyone to believe that individuals in each “generation” all act, think, and speak the same way.
What a load of very dangerous and divisive crap.
CEOs and their promotion problems, I’ll be worrying all day about them.
The completely invisible generation is the Silent Generation, they get counted as the boomer generation so that the media can run a narrative of the 60s.
A voice of sanity and reason on an, unfortunately, otherwise contentious thread.
THANK YOU!
Seems like EVERYONE today is into blame shifting and labeling people and being offended.
Sheesh, how about drop the entitlement mentality that causes you to expect to immediately have or be given what others worked their whole lives for. We had a hard time finding a house we could afford. We had to get a mortgage when interest rates were not good. We didn’t buy new cars every two years. We drove them into the ground generally for at least 10 years. We have Toyotas now that are pushing 10 and they’re still going strong. We’ll keep them as long as possible.
Those who are constantly blaming the boomers, are not willing to start out where people like us did, with a starter house that needed a LOT of work. They look at us now and think they’re entitled to start where we ended up after a lifetime.
Did SOME start out well heeled? Sure. Happens across the world in every generation.
But if everyone focused on bettering themselves instead of whining about about their victimhood and what they don’t have compared to others, they’d be far happier and this world would be a better place.
Good point.
By the way, Charlie Kirk did a fantastic job at reaching out to young people at college campuses throughout the nation in 2024.
As a retired boomer, I whole-heartedly agree with your assessment. As long as a person can do the work, I don’t care when they were born.
