When we talk about failed #generations and #boomers #Xers (like me...) we have to talk about this "experience will find the way" rhetoric. Pelosi, Biden, the Clintons and Obama etc have left a bereft generation of #Democrats in near total loss of power. Trampled on by #Fascists, soft, accommodating, wobbly. Yet they still think they are in a position to lecture to young people after historically epic failure.

Nancy Pelosi, it is past time to shut up and vote young.

This “sustainable abundance" is likely to rank up there with "effective altruism."

Oh and #Musk obviously had #Grok (or #mechahitler as grok prefers) write the #Tesla master plan.

Of course he did.

But the real answer is to hold accountable the billionaires who tricked #boomers and #Xers out of their money and their democracy. #sustainable #abundance #sustainableabundance #lol

Like many memes about #GenerationX, this is superficially appealing but falls apart the more you look at it. #Xers do a lot of self-congratulating on how #independent we are, but what that's translated into is more support for #Trump than any other generation, including the reviled #Boomers. We're cats.

#blackrock. #blackrock. And the Transamerica Institute is a think tank founded by the very insurance industry that sells disadvantageous annuity contracts to who? Retirees. #socialsecurity #boomers #Xers

I bet they are already to help us sing kumbya and solve the retirement crisis! But maybe my gens should rest in the beds we have made for ourselves instead of taxing people to whom we have left nothing, maybe not even a #democracy

Guessing game: which pundit said this?

“The children now love luxury; they have bad manners, contempt for authority; they show disrespect for elders and love chatter in place of exercise. Children are now tyrants, not the servants of their households. They no longer rise when elders enter the room. They contradict their parents, chatter before company, gobble up dainties at the table, cross their legs, and tyrannize their teachers.” #millennials #boomers #Xers

For those of you who have a hard time telling apart the different generations (especially the young ones)...

Here's a guide on the various dynamics with which GenX, GenY, and GenZ have had to grapple, over the past several decades.

The point of this piece is to illustrate how these three dynamic generations are stronger as a collaborative unit rather than constantly being at each other's throats:
