Is GenX Going to Get Passed Over? (1 Viewer)

[zftcg]

I am going to have the most Gen X response possible to this news and simply say, "Whatever"

Little known fact: Billy Idol started out fronting a band called Generation X  in 1977.  First time I ever heard the term.

I'm far less concerned about getting passed over politically than I am about paying into Social Security my whole working life and having it vanish just as I retire.

I think that's where politicians have their biggest disconnect.  Most of them have enough money not to even have that type of thing cross their mind. While of course lots of people (voters) do.

In the biblical sense, they may, due to age, be the oldest generation with blood over their door in this current epidemic.

What if those two aren't completely different issues

What is this “Gen X”?

Let me introduce you to the first rule of Gen X.

Eyes Without a Face, seems apropos.

By the way, I'm on chapter 2 of Meagan Daum's book, The Problem with Everything. 

Recommend.

IMO we are going to get passed by for quite a few reasons. The main reasons though are that we are sandwiched between two larger and more vocal generations. ( Boomers and Millennials). 

We are also what I like to call a bridge generation. We share a lot of the same values from Boomers and Millennials.

And then there is this - millenials and boomers seem to be most dismissive of coronavirus.

Last Generation Standing!!

GenX trending because we're the only generation taking this seriously and staying home...

Wait, that's what we were doing anyway

Because we want to.

I've long thought the Generation had great compassion for its fellow man that had a conservatism belying its unorthodox tendencies and a clarity for speaking truth. Lets see how this generation fares before we write it off. One thing: Its leaders, should they arrive, will come from strange places but from deep wellsprings.
