Boomers are so hilarious

I’m just glad it wasn’t me that started it. You go Torbee!!! The majority of Boomers suck a big fat one
I was at a tournament in Charles City this last weekend and was again reminded how many Spanish speakers there are in those smaller communities.
You think enrollments are declining now in rural Iowa wait until a significant portion of the younger kids are gone.
This could likely be true but it was the next generation of voters that flip flopped from '20 that swung the election according to the experts. This of course was the cause of Torbee's diatribe to begin with...
Youth shift away from the Democrats
The youth vote, often seen as a vote staple for left-leaning parties across the western world, was its worst for the Democrats in this election, with data showing Kamala Harris leading Trump 52-46 within this demographic.That six-point advantage compares to Biden's 25-point buffer over Trump in 2020, and Hillary Clinton's 18-point lead in 2016.
The Democrat advantage was also the smallest in the three Trump elections among the 30-44 voter group — just four points compared to the 12-point held by Biden.
I had no idea there were this many aholes on this site. This country is way more divided than I thought.
There's also a lot of folks on this site that take things way more seriously than they should.
One thing to remember, a generation or two down the road they will say the same thing about the older generations.
And the older generation will blame the decline of society on the younger generation. Never fails.

The best thing about boomer threads is anecdotal boomer stories.
The second best thing about boomer threads is boomer posters getting offended as if you just personally called them out.
Boomerism has become more of a mindset than just a simple age cohort, imo.

You definitely didn't invent this. Boomers parents sacrificed everything for them. And in return, Boomers demanded their kids sacrifice everything to repay the debt.
CSB. You forgot the caps lock. Btw I liked how you bumped the POTY post to try and get yourself some votes. Looks like no one likes you. Or did you do it just so you could get your other handle some recognition.
Because the Boomers are ultra defensive. Deep down they know how selfish, abrasive and destructive their generation has been.
What’s the matter the with how we we raised in the 70’s and 80’s.
I’d say there are very few things better about growing up today.
Now, you must be thinking why these people are labeled as Baby Boomers?
The reason is, as per the stats, there was a notable boom in the number of births that occurred at that time. In the year 1946, which is also known as the 1st year of Boom, around 3.4 million babies were born in the US.
This boom was always witnessing four million babies born every year from 1953 to 1964, and after that, this baby booming trend started declining. However, till then in this time, around 76.4 million people were born in the US, which was one-fourth of the total US population.
For today’s businesses, targeting these people and converting them for some specific kinds of products and services is significant and that is why, businesses come up with the term Baby Boomers, and make particular strategies as per their characteristics.
Now, as you got to know who Baby Boomers are, let us have a look upon their characteristics so that you can chalk out your business strategy as per their requirements
