The generational level of “concern” can be measured in voter turnout data. It isn’t very good.

Two questions: 1) Who you gonna blame when they’re all dead and 2) What are other, apparently superior “generations”, en masse, doing to realize a better world?

This is wrong. It’s 20-25%. And the last 50 years includes a whole bunch on non-boomers and a massive industrialization of Asia. WTF is up with you people and “boomers”? There’s always going to be old people. And all of them were formerly young people.

Ha ha sure, 200 years of Industrial Revolution but it’s the “boomers” fault.

Wtf? What on earth did you think I was saying?

I’m not sure how chastising someone who gets onboard late is good for the cause. Movements take time to grow and being cliquish about it simply hobbles that growth.

Keep talking about it. Don’t let Epstein fade from the national discourse. Not just over Trump but all those fuckers on the list.

The same Times that sane-washed Trump right into the White House (along with the big three networks, LA Times, Washington Post, etc..)

Right on. But I gotta say those strobe lights on bikes blind the sh*t out of all who see them. You can’t see anything else but that light. And I’m speaking as someone walking on the sidewalk.

I just finished a couple of books I got within a “few” years ago… I bought them when they first came out. Checked the copyright: 2014 on both… New Year’s resolution was no new books until the old ones are read.

Meatpacking industry is notorious for hiring undocumented workers. I would have thought they were immune from Trump’s sweeps because those companies are huge Republican supporters.

Ageism is a thing in many places. Just look at how much crap old people get for existing, and how much people of all ages consider their own age group as some kind of validating identity.
