Kamala was born in the last year of what is considered boomer, but still a step forward to Biden’s silent generation

radivojevic ,

At least she’s under the retirement age!!!

Pacattack57 ,

Retirement age is 55. She is 59.

@TSG_Asmodeus@lemmy.world avatar

I think it’s like 65 or 70 in the US.

Pacattack57 ,

Holy fuck it’s 67. We’re fucked

radivojevic ,

You should have known this at 13. Oh, public education. 🤦‍♂️

Pacattack57 ,

When I was 13 the retirement age was not 67 bud

MagicPterodactyl ,

If you were taught retirement age was 55 when you were 13 you must already be retired or thought you were very close to retirement. It hasn’t been 55 since the early 80s.

Pacattack57 ,

Yes I’m old thank you for reminding me

radivojevic ,

The full retirement age in the United States varies depending on the year of birth:

  • For people born in 1960 or later, the full retirement age is 67.
  • For those born between 1943 and 1954, the full retirement age is 66.
  • For those born between 1955 and 1959, the full retirement age gradually increases from 66 and 2 months to 66 and 10 months.

However, individuals can start receiving Social Security retirement benefits as early as age 62, though benefits will be reduced for early retirement. Conversely, delaying retirement beyond the full retirement age can increase benefits until age 70.

radivojevic ,

Retirement for her is 67.

Generational cohorts care more about events that shaped you in life rather than birth year

This headline makes me incredibly happy.

Gen X is too small to matter. Millennials are stepping up and will compete with Boomers for a little while until they finally take over. Thing about Millennials though is that it is a very K shaped generation. About half have had decent success and are conservative/liberal and the other half have been absolutely crushed so it’s kind of a mixed bag and as long as the Boomers have any influence not much is likely to change. GenZ is bigger than Millennials though and should be right behind them. They are very different and much more politically radical, on both the left and right. Things are likely to change with them.

SteveFromMySpace , (edited )

There are a lot of radical conservative millennials I’m not sure where you’re getting this from. I’d need to see numbers before I agree with a lot of this. All the YouTube/new media grifters personalities and radical passionate members of the house are millennials.

I’m worried about the Alphas and younger Zs who weren’t paying attention until after Covid. The news doesn’t talk about Trump’s laundry list of controversies or extremism. They just yell about the economy and the border and point at Biden.

As usual, they make rationalists look alarmist.

Carrolade ,

One thing I’m looking forward to with millennial leadership is just people that finally fully understand the power of the internet, big data and what truly distinguishes the information age. If you didn’t grow up with it, it’s hard to grapple with just how much it truly upended … fucking everything. They mostly still don’t understand that a computer can basically read their mind now, just through indirect data gathering and comparing them to all of the other people. We all get that at a more intuitive level, we’ve spent too long around these algorithms and seas of semi-anonymous others.

Of course we’ll be in some quantum AI room-temp-superconductor age by then, so, y’know how it goes. But we should at least have a better handle on the information age problems, so that’ll be nice.

Technology keeps creating new problems. The problems don’t stay still and wait to be fixed.

crank0271 ,

Not to be contrary, but the problems aren’t technology’s fault. That’s all on us.

Hobbes_Dent ,

Spoken just like the boomers. Heads up your own asses just like them.

65 million X compared to 72 millennial. Wow. Carry on.

Whatever.

Are you ok

Are you?

boogetyboo ,
@boogetyboo@aussie.zone avatar

I’m absolutely spiffing, thanks for asking! Yourself?

radivojevic ,

Adequate.

@boogetyboo@aussie.zone avatar

Fair to middling?

radivojevic ,

Sufficient to acceptable. Not good—but not bad! I’m… fine.

Sounds perfectly cromulent.

radivojevic ,

Yes Ms. Hoover

modifier ,

I am not, but I think that’s unrelated. Mostly. Or not at all.

radivojevic ,

In an existential sense?

pixel_prophet ,

It’s almost like generational distinction is meaningless and it’s actually about class.

And life stages

There’s apparently 65.2 million Gen Xers vs 75 million millenials. Smaller, but “too small to matter” seems like a really weird take.

Boozilla ,
@Boozilla@lemmy.world avatar

Glad the boomers are on the way out. As a Gen X’er, not sure we care enough to take charge.

xmunk ,

It’s cool you’ll get like four years then we millennials will take over.

slurpeesoforion ,

Please be kind. We’re exhausted and broken.

Wytch ,

Watching helplessly for 40 or 50 years while your parents’ generation destroys everything will do that

bazus1 ,

and it hurts now to get out of bed.

Flying_Hellfish ,

And to be in bed

tacosplease ,

You guys are ok with us. Z seems cool too

wjrii ,

Millennials seem cool. They called bullshit on a lot of stuff that X just shrugged at and tried to slack our way around. I don’t usually know what Z is saying but they seem to at least have moved in a less overtly toxic direction, and they put weak but real taboos on stuff like bullying that no prior generation did.

It’s all good. I’m gonna go let myself into the empty house and make a PB&J now.

shalafi ,

Don’t know about you, but I’m out here slackin’ away.

KnightontheSun ,

Slack Off!

As an aging millennial, I am surprised by how the process of time works.

Like you spend your life acquiring skills and using your knowledge in an ever expanding cornucopia of experiences.

Then followed by a gradual decline to be left only with your memories of who you once were. But then you realize you were only a small part of the existence of others, and ultimately the universe. Yep, the thought of faculties diminishing over time is enough to put the one into an extensional crisis.

Boozilla ,
@Boozilla@lemmy.world avatar

Yup. This is a wise time in your life to start your estate planning, medical directives, etc. Find yourself a good lawyer for this. I’m sure the cost varies by location and practice, but mine was only about $1,500 US.

Godort ,

Considering the nature of linear time, I dont know what the alternative could be.

ccunning ,

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

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

meeeeetch ,

Within two months and one week of each other.

ech ,

Huh, that’s interesting.

Pacattack57 ,

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

ArbitraryValue ,

I would vote for a vampire, mummy, or other deathless creature.
