Okay so, are you more likely to be a CEO at age 12, 22, 32, 42, or 52? Come on man. measuring by CEOs is definitely skewed toward oldest cohort not yet powerfully affected by retirement, even a small cohort like Gen X. The Boomers still kicking around in the workplaces are filling a lot of plum jobs (oh and by the way, do you think those are going to be the ones that let go young? Come on! Being a master of the universe is fun!)... although granted, there are plenty of Boomers still working b/c they're younger boomers, or just not ready to go.
But it's worth considering that the Boomer zeitgeist, even for rightist Boomers and even after the conversion of capitalism from dirty word to goal... the Boomer zeitgeist was "Man we're changing the world man!"
The Gen X zeitgeist was more like, "Man f*** the world man!"
"What the world needs now is another folk singer like I need a hole in my head."
Side comment: Smart ass younger folk are perfectly justified in leveling the charge of "privileged boomer" when somebody has deployed "everybody gets a trophy" against
them. And that's pretty much every time "millennial" is mentioned, even if they are 40.
Comments:
a.) And...too lazy to read the entire thread...HOW did a discussion about Burns/Jones' spat fest turn in a boomer/millennial discussion?
b.) Does everybody realize that millennials are now like in their late 30's? With jobs, student loans, mortgages, kids, and etc..?
c.) Generation Z is the generation we all should be looking to....the oldest member is 24....and most minimum wage jobs are filled by 18-24 year olds nowadays. The Tide Pod generation!
a) no idea, tldr. b) So, yeah, everybody realizes who is in which one. Or at least, that's the stuff we've been discussing, with decent accuracy, the last couple pages. c) see (b)
Bonus: SNL short below immediately conflates 2 generations in its first words.
