    At this point, I think us millenials as an entire generation should agree to just hand the keys directly over to Gen Z. I think it’s probably good policy to do the exact opposite of whatever the boomers have done.

      Nah, don’t punish AOC and other brilliant millennials for what the boomers did.

      Also, let Gen Z live a little before you give them a gilded cage in Washington.

      They’re already kicking more ass protesting and otherwise organizing for justice to bypass Washington better than most of us ever did.

      Yeah I get it. And it may go that way.

      I just don’t want to get sick, lose my retirement savings to medical debt, have social security run out, and wind up homeless like things seem to be headed.

        All of those things are things millennials worry about too. Except most of us don’t have any savings to lose even though a lot of us are in our 40s now.

      I’m 48 but mentor university students by the dozen. Even Millennials are dinosaurs compared to Gen Z. Everyone older needs to STFU and GTFO.

        Honestly we’ve all being doing vibes-based voting anyway, being on some ranked-choice rizz and see who drips to the top

        (That being said I’m all for Gen Z to just come in and clean up)
