Pretty interesting stuff. I am 37 but I identify more with "Millenials" than "Gen Xers". And I'd support Warren over Clinton.

If DMT didn't exist we would have to invent it. There has to be a weirdest thing. Once we have the concept weird, there has to be a weirdest thing. And DMT is simply it.

Likely next NYC Mayor Bill DiBlasio has made ending big business subsidies a priority, saying that the idea that the companies would leave the state if not for the tax breaks to be absurd.
Many on the left agree, while many on the right think a lot of Fortune 500 companies would relocate thousands of workers to just across the Hudson in NJ - particularly if Governor Christie puts out the welcome mat.
I must say, it would be pretty interesting to finally figure out if those companies are bluffing....finished 10th in this 37th yr in 11-team-only NL 5x5

To say that those in their early 40s, whose "plastic years" were in the late Reagan- Bush Sr.-early Clinton years, have that much in common with those my age, who lived through the VietNam War, Watergate, and worst of all Jimmy Carter's disastrous Presidency, is absurd.Only the madman is absolutely sure. -Robert Anton Wilson, novelist (1932-2007)

First time I've heard generation X referring to that time period. That just wrong. Douglas Coupland coined the term to define the directionless late 80's early 90's generationComment

Generation X, commonly abbreviated to Gen X, is the generation born after the Western Post–World War II baby boom. Demographers, historians and commentators use beginning birth dates from the early 1960s to the early 1980s."The Times found no pattern of sexual misconduct by Mr. Biden, beyond the hugs, kisses and touching that women previously said made them uncomfortable." -NY Times
"For a woman to come forward in the glaring lights of focus, nationally, you’ve got to start off with the presumption that at least the essence of what she’s talking about is real, whether or not she forgets facts" - Joe BidenComment

Neither did I. The term I always heard for the post-Baby Boom generation, at least here in the US, was "Baby Bust". The unofficial term we Boomers used was, "Oh, them".Originally posted by johnnya24 View PostOnly the madman is absolutely sure. -Robert Anton Wilson, novelist (1932-2007)

I still can't get my head around this. It must be a conspiracy. I thought I was a gen X'er .... now I realize I'm probably not. I'm burning my old plaid shirts.Originally posted by Don Quixote View Post
A couple of weeks back I went to my parents for diner. My Dad was sitting playing Zygna poker, as he does on his day off. But he was wearing one of my old plaid shirts from the early 90's. My first reaction was "ugh ... did I used to wear that in public?". Second reaction was, "Damn those things are hard wearing". Now I'm just disillusioned by plaid.Comment
