Lazy tho ? Not that group. Most have bought MODEST homes & scraped & worked & saved thru college . They have a good group of solid hard working kids around them & I’m not writing that generation off They have a heavy lift however. They have been left a mess - worse than what I inherited.

Well, in for the money and world domination (according to the work coffee mug) 😉 But being blue in a deep red state is its own set of issues AND when in marketing for a public entity but has to avoid D.E.I, by law 🤦🏻♀️ I’m not sure the $ is worth it. However, it’s their moccasins to wear
Pícara (@apowhichiapi.bsky.social) reply parent
Ahhhhh-men
Pícara (@apowhichiapi.bsky.social) reply parent
Agree - but that is how the progeny makes $$ I’ve been learning ALL the marketing tools (not like they’ve changed much ) What’s so funny is we had to look at generationally what people were living their lives & now the progeny is that in that position and I laugh every time I hear a new label! 🤣
Pícara (@apowhichiapi.bsky.social) reply parent
And I think the only reason we named generations is because people can market toward a group of people that fit into X or Y Labels… everything has to fit into a label or a box 🤦🏻♀️ So it can be studies but agghhh

True - I hate being a Boomer …. As they have such a selfish connotation in general - but yet- there I am. I’m closer to Gen X but that’s not much help to my self esteem either 🤣🤣😂😂
Pícara (@apowhichiapi.bsky.social) reply parent
Altho the term was coined in 1999 - I never used it once in a generational analysis - it even wasn’t considered I hate be labeled “boomers” (as I’m barely one ) but …. If the shoes fits as far as a board bush thems the breaks Thanks for the tip tho - it’s funny to me -

Coined in the 1910’s. So it’s REALLY OLD Far older than Boomers - Gen z knows what it means too… en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Keeping...
Pícara (@apowhichiapi.bsky.social) reply parent
Hmmm so when WAS it coined ?? I don’t know
Pícara (@apowhichiapi.bsky.social) reply parent
Keeping up with the Jones’ is as old as Adam and Eve really. It human nature … and it’s always been to root of many issues in mankind …. I don’t think it makes a good generational model tho …
Pícara (@apowhichiapi.bsky.social) reply parent
Well young boomers are now 60 at the youngest age they may not remember the “jones” or even what that is ….

As a “barely boomer” thank you for that. People don’t realize that millennials are well into their 40s pushing 50 at this point The young people is Gen Z - about 26- 27 years of age at the most and they are a different breed entirely, in my experience and I am here for it! ie - MAXWELL FROST

Did it twice in three weeks last year. So I feel the sense of dread - the only way I did it was to compartmentalize the emotions, do the motions and grieve later But everyone is different. Do what feels right for you. And sending you positive energy

Not because of the gulag. But maybe because the criminals are all on the front lines in Ukraine and what ends up back in Moscow doesn’t have arms and legs …. The meat grinder reduced crime ….. not Putin 😉

Now, if we got a hard time on the beltway, and we’re told open it up or somebody was getting impatient. And you know The somebody I’m talking about. We would suddenly decide or find that we had a hazmat spill, and somebody would have to be completely deconned - on the side of the road 🤣🤣
