• Boomers are having their last dance in charge.
  • Gen X leaders are stepping up to replace the last of them.
  • Younger leaders are taking charge of politics and corporate giants such as Boeing, HSBC, and Costco.

    Glad the boomers are on the way out. As a Gen X’er, not sure we care enough to take charge.

          Watching helplessly for 40 or 50 years while your parents’ generation destroys everything will do that

            Millennials seem cool. They called bullshit on a lot of stuff that X just shrugged at and tried to slack our way around. I don’t usually know what Z is saying but they seem to at least have moved in a less overtly toxic direction, and they put weak but real taboos on stuff like bullying that no prior generation did.

            It’s all good. I’m gonna go let myself into the empty house and make a PB&J now.

      As an aging millennial, I am surprised by how the process of time works.

      Like you spend your life acquiring skills and using your knowledge in an ever expanding cornucopia of experiences.

      Then followed by a gradual decline to be left only with your memories of who you once were. But then you realize you were only a small part of the existence of others, and ultimately the universe. Yep, the thought of faculties diminishing over time is enough to put the one into an extensional crisis.

        Yup. This is a wise time in your life to start your estate planning, medical directives, etc. Find yourself a good lawyer for this. I’m sure the cost varies by location and practice, but mine was only about $1,500 US.
