Messed up my reply. I agree with your point about it not being age but desire to stay relevant. My anecdotal evidence is that 90% of my worst client have been boomers. Usually the ones that didn’t progress enough to make the decisions.
And the next generation will say this about yours...

Messed up my reply. I agree with your point about it not being age but desire to stay relevant. My anecdotal evidence is that 90% of my worst client have been boomers.
For me, the truly odd anecdotal that I honestly cannot explain is that I'm truly stunned at how horrible workers under 35 are at working with standard productivity software. MS Word, Excel, Access etc. I'm like........"frick, I had to learn all that shite AFTER I became an adult............and you don't know how to format a word document?
Most people treat Excel as if it's Word with rectangles.
So, while younger people who studied tech are typically well beyond the rest of us and also likely bump into old tech workers who haven't kept up.........among everyone else?.........I find the lack of basic tech skill among the under 35 crowed to be near impossible to wrap my brain around.

Yes.
The reality is that reacting poorly to new ways of doing things is something common to older generations.
Alas, young people should also acknowledge that refusal to acknowledge the value of experience is a young people problem.
Yes. Sometimes, the old dude is being intransigent.
And. Sometimes, the young dude is just begging to repeat already failed approaches.

Even late 30's. Pew Research settled on 1981-1996 which puts the oldest millennials at 37.
That would be correct.
My oldest daughter was born in '81 and she's a full blown nutcase living in Berkeley CA ... there is no hope for her.
My next two daughters were born in '83 and '85 and, while they are not zealots they both lean left.
Second wife gave me a Son in '99 and he is very Conservative. A lot of the kids around him are as well although there are definitely plenty of Demwits on campus.
I've been told that there has been a surge of Young Republican memberships on a lot of campuses around the South at least. Now, my Son is a KA and he travels to a lot of the various campuses around the SEC and other schools for regional chapter meetings and he says things are definitely starting to swing back our way a bit with his generation. Mostly among the young men though ... not the females.
That would jive with national trends I believe as women have always been far more liberally progressive than men.
You can point to the suffrage movement in this country as the point when socialism/liberal progressive communism began to take hold.

51% say they prefer socialism to capitalism, but when presented with options they picked a free market approach not understanding the label
Only 16% could actually define it, compared to closer to 50% of the rest of us
They seem easily duped by labels and not very knowledgeable of Econ and civics
Should these millennial's achieve the socialistic paradise they dream of, it will be just one step close to communism which will be the next step towards labor and "reeducation" camps. Then they will understand why the "old people" fought the Nazi's and had a Cold War with the Russians so they could run around acting like the spoiled asses that we raised them to be because our generation didn't want the to endure the struggles we had to deal with...We fricked them up good.

The pew research center says that college educated people are drifting towards Democrats. Females more often than males, but both are. The Republican Party is taking on more former blue collar democrats to offset this. Of course, this is not an exact science but that seems to be the general consensus.

drifting towards Democrats. Females more often than males,
In any case, if I know anything after 51 years of life, it's that no trend stays forever.

The leftist movement is ran by females, who are going to college more than males. It feeds on emotion.
Many will change views in a decade or two.

Which is how it has been and should be. Democrats are insistent that we vote with our hearts however. Their viability depends on it in fact.

This generation is frankly, "perfecting" the Dr. Spock approach.
SIDE NOTE. I'm also a parent in the current parenting generation also. 2nd go round.

58& of boomers prefer communism even though they grew up during the fight against communism.
only 22% of them know what is going on.
the stats you are reading are made up to tell a narrative.

right a mid 30's person did not become an adult in post 9/11. they were adults, while young adults, they were adults.

Based on the dates given earlier, Millenials were born between 81 and 96. That has them between 20 and 5 in the year 2001. Which means, once again, we Millenials, on average, became adults in a post 9/11 world.
Admit that you misread what I wrote and move on. This is getting silly.

Just wait until we get single payer and free college. We'll be paying 70% tax rates. Hopefully I'm retired by then.
