.....except for me. I blame the next generation. They are large in number and whine about everything. And they are taking us a step back in time with their 3 kids under 5 before 35 - SAHM - cut back of government support crap. |
Except for all the ones that did change the world - like inventing the internet and online everything. |
most are so silent, they're dead |
I recently participated in two large weekend protests against Trumps ICE efforts and the big beautiful tax bill. Most of the people were age 50+ and I wondered where the millennials and GenXers were? |
The Silent Generation and Boomers invented the internet. |
I’m already angry at the future neonatal generation.
- Gen Xer, 1970. |
Gen Z. They’re incredibly self-important, suck at making eye contact/conversing in person, and seem to think anyone over 25 is old and therefore useless. Also, what’s up with the way they dress?? Ghastly. |
That’s just being young. Most of your contemporaries thought the same when you all were 22. |
No, that's the alpha generation. GenXers see you and are correcting all that crap in our kids. My kids have limited screen time, time to get bored (a staple of genX), and plenty of exercise. Couple that with great education and empathy for both boy and girls and THIS is the generation that will make thing right again. |
And arguably, a lot of the more recent innovations were a very bad idea. |
We're trying to keep out jobs that are being Doge'd or sent to India or lost to AI. We don't have time for ineffective protests. Those are for people with nothing to do and time to waste. |
"Most of the people were age 50+ and I wondered where the millennials and GenXers were?" Do you know how old GenXers are? We are over 50! |
^^yes. And there's data to back it up. Gen X are definitely turning into boomers as they get older. My older brother is the worst. We used to be cool. ![]() |
And we can still do math. |
omg it's 100% Gen Z. Boomers might have their issues but still they work hard and care for their families. Gen Z doesn't work hard at all, is unbelievably self centered and ostracizes their families. |
