So if I could magically give the Millenials and Zoomers the reins to all of this today, what exactly would change? Would things get better or worse? Or would being woke bring everything to a grinding halt?
Serious question, I'm curious what economic policies they could bring forth that haven't been tried already.
Not gonna lie, I've worked in banking the last 20 years. Yes, the CEOs are often fossils, but the core workforce is indeed already Millenial. And plenty of pink/green haired Zoomers running around the office, too. As a Boomer, I'm the minority and no, I don't control any of the purse strings; I work in Risk.

Nothing that isn't a blatant lie, like Trump lunging at a secret service agent to take the wheel from the backseat.
It's a primetime event tonight, they might have perfected some deepfakes to roll out and pretend it's from the oval office itself.

And how many Boomers were CEOs of Fortune 500 companies in 1985? it's natural that years of experience and waiting out the old guard will lead to disproportionate representation of older people in positions of leadership. I generally agree with the position that there is a large trend among boomer parents to have been neglectful narcissists that caused their kids to resent and neglect them, but your point is simply nonsensical.

Would probably be ran worse. A lot of "millennials" and "gen X" (yes, generational labels are dumb) talk a big game, but then proceed to do jack shit. When they do fail, out comes the excuses that those dang dirty boomers didn't prepare them.
During none of this do they ever think that as sentient """adults""" that it is up to them to become more than the sum of their parenting.
This is of course generalization, but fair is fair.
Back me up!

Lol, watch Donald Trump ending up being the best Boomer Dad since he trained his kids to run his businesses and reprimanded them when they fucked up.

Chip Roy and other Republicans thanked Mike Pence for counting the votes that certified Joe Biden's election victory.
Praise for Pence: Mike Pence received high praise from Rep. Chip Roy (R-Texas) for his handling of Jan. 6 when he returned to his old stomping grounds on Wednesday.
According to two people in the room during Pence's appearance at a meeting of the conservative Republican Study Committee, Roy stood to thank the former vice president for counting the votes that certified President Joe Biden’s election — a move that incurred forceful blowback from Donald Trump and his base.
Roy's move was met with applause from multiple lawmakers, both people in the room confirmed.
Moment of gratitude: Roy wasn’t the only Republican who lauded Pence.
“People thanked him for his courage and doing the right thing,” said Rep. Don Bacon (R-Neb.), who voted to certify.
What he said: Pence told the members he is planning to help the GOP heading into the 2022 midterms, according to Rep. Kevin Hern (R-Okla.), so they can be in a good spot for 2024. Hern said Pence didn’t talk about a 2024 bid one way or another, but he still read Pence’s rhetoric on Wednesday as a stump speech.
Another GOP lawmaker leaving the meeting remarked how popular Pence is with the Republican conference, which comes as he has worked to rebuild his image in the wake of the former president’s attacks.
The RSC chief shrugs: Rep. Jim Banks (R-Ind.) called Roy's pro-Pence moment a “blip in the meeting” and argued it was “not what the meeting was about.” The goal of Pence's appearance, Banks said, was “rallying Republicans to have a substantive agenda that we that we give to the voters in November."

Pence plans to run in 2024 maybe? I am sure it won't end well but maybe it could be the JEB! moment of the election.

Feels less like the actual coof and more like a cheap pity ploy to put a tourniquet on his polling disaster, if only for a week.
"My baby still can't eat because there's no formula anywhere"
"Joepedo has the coof, how dare you think of your child at a time like this!"

Mike Pence is a total joke who wants the GOP to become dignified losers again. I saw he just endorsed Karrin Taylor-Robson--who's trying to buy herself the AZ governor nomination--over Trump endorsed Kari Lake. Trump made a huge mistake ever choosing him for VP.

He had to shore up evangelical support. I get it. But there's absolutely no reason to do something like that again. Trump has already delivered on the evangelicals' wet dream of reversing Roe before any of these dignified loser GOP hacks who have promised for decades to do the same thing, and that's amazing since Trump's probably paid for more abortions than any other president.

Isn't this like the 3rd or 4th time he's gotten covid?
This is like the boy who cried wolf at this point... "I'M FULLY BOOSTED AND VAXXED" he shouts, as his health is somehow fucked over by the very thing the jabs are "supposed" to protect him from.
Why would anyone still believe the jabs do anything positive at this point when the guy who's been #1 in shoving this shit down people's throats isn't even safe from it?

No. But it's still unbelievably absurd. 2 years of this pos claiming to "following the science" and he still got Covid. These people took 2 years away from us and sank the economy for nothing.

Its like the 3rd or 4th staffer in his admin to get it.
Listen even if Biden kicks the bucket it would have been way worse if he hadn't gotten the jab.
