It plays in a lot, but the largest generation (still) are the boomers.  The millennial generation was quite small.

The millennial generation wasn't small, it's just that the boomer generation was huge. Not anymore. Enough boomers have died off that millennials took the numerical lead last year, at least in the US. Boomers are still the larger voting block, simply because a higher percentage of them actually vote, but time will change that too, soon enough. If you combine Millennials with Gen X and voting-age Gen Z, they easily outnumber the boomer and remaining silent generation.

If we can present them something to vote for... and kick them on their arse to get out to vote.

Well, while you're navel gazing, think about whose fault all this really is.  (not saying it's you, btw)

Life is like driving a truck. There's a hill ahead? Start thinking about switching gears before the engine stalls.

Some of you might have heard about economic recovery forecast graphs. And the assigned letter of the alphabet that corresponds to how speculators think things will go.

Some suggest it will be a 'V' recovery. Some think it will be an "L"  :palm:

An interesting one that's just come out is the "K" recovery.

That means they think that the economy will dimorph. Some things that are allowed to prosper will go gangbusters. Other things, not so much.

The question is, which horse are you going to ride?

Yeah, what we need is something like a global pandemic to thin them out a bit.

The thing is, even under catastrophic conditions covid would wipe out "only" around 1% of the population. That's a staggering number of lives on an individual level, but a 1% reduction is not exactly going to alleviate overpopulation.
