  1. Have been looking at getting a summer #cabin, perhaps good enough to work remotely three seasons, for a few years.

    The sad truth is, the #boomers bought the nice places in the 60/70:s, and those are not reaching the market, but are inherited.

    What does reach the market is mosquito-infested, moldy masonite hovels surrounded by thick fir woods miles from any water.

    Only exceptions are places where the #boomer kids can't get along _at all_ and sell - and then priced higher than my #Stockholm home.

    #Luxury problem, I know, but so much of the #swedish culture still centers around having a #summercabin, and it's sad to only briefly rent parts of it.

  3. Spoke to my 81 yr old mother today who cursed both the federal and provincial governments on their lack of climate action. She can’t believe we’re building pipelines instead of wind and solar. Folks, even the boomers are coming around! #ClimateChange #ClimateEmergency #Fires #Carney #DougFord #Boomers #Wind #Solar

  5. Boomers, not Gen Z, are the generation cutting back most on alcohol

    New research overturns assumption that abstinent younger drinkers are behind weak demand.

  11. I examine individual generations to compare the percent of people from each generation who identify with specific LGBT identities.

    I began by examining US adults, as a whole.

    I then examine graphs for Gen Z, Millennials, Gen X, Baby Boomers, and the Silent Generation.

  13. In their final act on the national stage, the #boomer generation left the #USA with a #supplyshock, #joblessness and #stagflation. And never once did their #dunningkruger diminish, so there will be no apology, no introspection. Only surprise that we are not enthusiastically supporting funding for their statues. #boomers

  20. But, @fortune @news-fortune, some of us #younger #Baby #Boomers who don’t have #high #incomes — because few people are paid #livable incomes anymore — haven’t yet paid off our #mortgages. We’re desperately hoping we can afford to keep living in our homes.

  21. "Generations by LGBT Identities" examined each generation of US adults, individually, and compared the percentage of people within that generation who identified as lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender.

    "Generations by LGBT Identities" was part of Season 2 of "LGBT by the Numbers."
