• 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.

    What’s the fact you’re objecting to? The only thing wrong is Trump as a Silent as he’s born in the very first year of the Boomers. Everything else is following the common definitions.

      You might be right there. I’m German. And many a man did come back later, after the war, here. A lot of refugees were forcefully relocated from what is today Poland. Also a lot of POWs came back long after the war was over. So the baby boom was a bit delayed over here.

      Where does the common definition of ‘Boomer’ say it starts after 1946 (the year Trump was born) and stops with the birth control pill (1960)?

      I have never seen such a definition anywhere. Certainly not one that says it starts at least two years after the end of WWII.

        Huh? I’m saying Trump is Boomer because Boomers start in 1946. And it goes to 1964, which is when the birth control pill was recognized as a contraceptive. I don’t know if X is defined by that in the same way Boomers are defined by a specific event, but it lines up precisely.

            You literally just asked about where the common definition came from. Read the first fucking paragraph man.

              I did not ask anything. I certainly didn’t ask that:

              Pretty amusing that you’re accusing me of not reading though.

                You’re in the wrong fucking thread. Get it together before you go randomly aggro.

                You, in the post I originally replied to:

                  Okay, sorry about that, but you’re still wrong because it’s anywhere between 1943 and “mid-1946” as per that Wikipedia page.
