The last leaders of the boomer era look set to cede their power to younger Gen X leaders across the political and business worlds.
  • Boomers are having their last dance in charge.
  • Gen X leaders are stepping up to replace the last of them.
  • Younger leaders are taking charge of politics and corporate giants such as Boeing, HSBC, and Costco.

    Honestly, given the money Gen X has, Gen Z would mostly probably do the same.

    While some of our actions can be directed by principle, mostly it’s just shrinking income.

    I wish we could raise wages AND use them to embrace Buy It For Life items, all while subsidizing public transportation etc etc.

    But now it’s lack of money that holds Gen Z back, not principles, in my opinion.

      Gen z understands that the rich are the cause of their poverty, not immigrants or libs or other poor people. That’s a big step in directing action in the right direction.

        Fair, though I wonder how much of it is real change and how much is our information bubble. Hopefully mostly the former, but I absolutely do hear all those “fuck immigrants” and “I’m to blame, I just gotta work harder” attitudes around.

          Yeah… I guess it’s more like, millennials were the first generation to have a majority get it, and Gen z is even better about getting it… But it’s still not 100%
