  • Boomers are having their last dance in charge.
  • Gen X leaders are stepping up to replace the last of them.
  • Younger leaders are taking charge of politics and corporate giants such as Boeing, HSBC, and Costco.

    Biden is actually the first and only president from “The Silent Generation”

    (Side note: Trump, Dubya, and Bubba were all born in 1946)

      You know how in school they say “one day one of you will be president.” Well for Bidens generation all of them were wrong except his teacher

      It’s also possible that Gen X will be skipped over the way the Silent Generation was skipped.

      Kamala is the youngest possible Boomer (born in 1964). If she wins and serves 2 terms she’ll be out in 2032. At that point Gen X will be between 52 and 67. People might want a candidate younger than that.
