I watched part of a PBS interview with token fake conservative David Gerkin a couple nights ago. Gerkin was praising “the greatest generation” for making everything perfect and lambasting baby boomers for everything that leftists like Gerkin actually screwed up.
It occurred to me that, besides everything else gained in World War II, the most significant gains were the spoils of war. Gerkin was attacking baby boomers for not wasting our lives to bring him more free stuff. And Gerkin is p!ssed that people are not jumping into Ukraine to bring him more spoils.
First, be nice, try following Core Rules of Netiquette, and provide a link so people know what you are referring and can give a informed response.
Second, Gergen was talking about his new book "Hearts Touched With Fire: How Great Leaders Are Made". The book and interviews he has given are about passing the torch from one generation to the next in the contemporary American context of what comes after the Baby Boomers. In an interview he gave with Raju Narsetti for Mckinsey publishing, he stated the idea for the book started five or eight years ago. He has not said one single word tying anything in his book too Russia's invasion of Ukraine.
