the silent generation was the time my grand parents grew up in. Imagine having parents that went through the roaring twenties then watched it crash with the great depression and the dust bowl creating a shortage of food where even if you had money you had no food. that was the time they grew up in. then when they came of age they were drafted for both my grandfathers the war ended before they went overseas. Now imagine your finally an adult you never had much of a childhood you were waiting in line for a job waiting for food handouts as a teenager then get drafted as at 17 year old to train for the war. All they wanted to do was live life and raise a family this when companies still had on the job training and pensions. The great men who would have made great presidents and congressmen were essentially broken or died in WW2. Just look at Richard Davis "dick" Winters that was a man with integrity and wisdom. The war broke him though all he wanted to do was come back home and raise a family and live in peace. That is the true cost of war the right people for the job the people who should be our leaders are broken.
Wow. Yeah, good point - the leaders come back broken, if they come back at all.
As an ‘82 baby, I’m at the Gen X/Millennial cusp, aka “Xennials” (1977-83). As you know we had an analog childhood and digital adulthood. I have characteristics of both generations, but identify slightly more with Gen X based on the experiences growing up, attitudes, values (moral, religious), and pop culture. However, when it comes to economic turmoil, I can certainly relate to Millennials.
'82 also and I agree with you 100%. On everything! Never could respect the popular designation that I was somehow a full-on millennial. The experience and differences are just clearly very different in so many ways. And I also share those same views from your last 2 sentences.
Joshua K Exactly. That’s why people shouldn’t define generations based on “specific years”, rather it’s more realistic to say that Millennials were people born in the early 80’s to early 00’s. That gives “wiggle” room for cuspers. And I always remind myself that generations are subjective and don’t really define a person.
This book, and other works by Strauss and Howe, discuss the idea that generations exist along a continuum meaning that the youngest cohorts of a generation and the oldest cohorts of the subsequent generation will, of course, share some experiences, values, outlooks, etc. They will have experienced historical events and social moments at a similar age. Likewise, cultural, political, sociological, trends, oscillate over the course of years. During the years of Millennial childhood, society's attitudes about children shifted, becoming increasingly protective, so that the youngest millennials grew up in a much more protected environment than the oldest millennials.

What's the song playing in the beginning
A song I co-wrote and played violin. My sister is on the harp. We pitched it to music groups in Atlanta and it was never taken, so I use it as our intro music.
@@BooksofTitans you sent it to the wrong people but it's super nice
I think you would have been right with your Dem candidate predictions to discount Biden by generation had the establishment not consolidated behind him. it doesn't seem like the importance of creating new domestic institutions has hit yet. i hope warren gets to be his VP.
Biden is a silent generation president. Very interesting times.
I never thought of that either. It almost seems kind like it was fortified in a way.
