I’ve heard stats presented that way all my life, usually in terms of “immigrants”, “Jews”, “Catholics” , etc. You want to look up some stats? Look at voter turnout amongst young people. Or the population of the United States vs available land, 1960’s to present. Or look up post war economic booms and how they affect things.
Here we are, with decades of low voter turnout, a waning economy that is completely gamed not by an age group but by the wealthy, and too many people to allow the old ways of “growth” to work anymore.
And somehow amidst that we’ve decided that part of our very identity is the range of years in which we were born. Who decided what a boomer or millennial or gen X/Z/Alpha is? Was it a consensus amongst social scientists? Or was it something more useful for marketing strategy?
I reject your comment outright. Everything you said was perpetuated (or not) by the entirety of people living in that/this time. We are all part of this world and othering a group of people, i.e. scapegoating others does jackshit for solving our problems.
Nah. It’s mucking too much with the Constitution and undoubtedly will be used against the country the very minute Republicans regain Congressional majority. That and DC statehood (DC is separate for a reason) are just dumb ideas.
Focus our efforts on overturning Citizens United and reforming the manner in which campaign finances work.
And absolutely prosecute every last bit of corruption and profiteering done by any politician. Make Congress a means of public service far and above any means of making money.
