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.
We'll have to wait until at least the mid 2030s for that. As of now, there are only 4 Millennials in Congress.
