The last leaders of the boomer era look set to cede their power to younger Gen X leaders across the political and business worlds.
  • 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.

    No, I didn’t suggest that. I asked for clarification because you said it amused you that people thought being born before or after some year made you part of a generation. That is literally the fucking definition! There are certainly different definitions of those generations but regardless they are all based on a person being born before or after a certain year.

      Your words:

      That’s kind of the definition. Gen X is 1965 - 1980.

      I showed you very clearly that it is one of many definitions of Gen X. Some of them apply to Harris.

        My point was to show that they are defined by a span of years. I see now that this concept is hard for you to understand.

          Yes, they are defined by a span of years. An arbitrary span no one agrees on. Thus, Generation X not definitively 1965-1980 as you said. Even the U.S. government disagrees with that definition.

          It’s anything from the late 1920s to the mid 1980s depending on who you ask.

            So you are saying it’s arbitrary and then in the very next sentence make the statement that it is defined as 1920 - 1980? Do you even know what you are trying to say at this point?

              You are not reading very well:

              It’s anything from the late 1920s to the mid 1980s depending on who you ask.

              Meaning that it is arbitrary.

                I’m reading just fine thank you. “Gen X is anything from 1965 to 1980.” What is the difference between that and what you said? Just the date range. It’s obvious this concept is just too much for your brain to handle or you are just being stubborn. No need to message me anymore.

                  I guess you still aren’t reading clearly. I’ll make it bigger so you can:
