I wonder how a hearing like this would go now with a Boomer-dominated Senate. I'm guessing a lot less collegial and more openly combative. https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=Wc7KSINLF5U

Funny you mentioned it.

I was on a business trip in Asia while it was going on.

I was the youngest in the entourage, the lone Xer. The rest were Boomers.

Suffice it to say, the commentary around me was prefiguring Fox News points of view.

I sensed future darkness.

It will be interesting to see what Congress will be like when Millennials dominate it.
