“Generational politics is bull…”

90% of my bad experiences with customers come from Boomers. Something about being born in that era makes you an entitled, impatient dickhead.

I had a very bad day at work if you couldn’t tell.

    Leadership was largely Silent and Great Generation, but a lot of people doing work on the ground were Boomers. Most of the Freedom Riders were Boomers. Most of the Panthers were Boomers. The core contributors of 2nd. Wave Feminism were Boomers.

    Reagan is an outlier. He didn’t win just the Boomer vote, he won the vote across the board. Minnesota is the only state that didn’t vote to reelect him. He took all 49 other states in a complete landslide. 42% of women, 91% of black people, and 54% of union members still voted against him. So the point still stands. The old white guy yelling at you is not the same person as the black woman who was in the BPP.
