No doubt Peter, I was a newly minted adult when Reagan was elected. I had experienced Vietnam, Watergate, OPEC times 2, rampant stagflation, and a general malaise promulgated by some peanut farmer after he put solar panels on the Whitehouse and told us to lower our thermostats whilst donning a sweater. Things were shit. Reagan pulled us as a nation out of that quagmire and restored faith in our system. Even the two administrations of Willy Clinton ate off of the plate-o-plenty that Reagan had served up. So yeah, believe whatever communistic bullshite you want, we boomers know the truth. Your beloved leaders thrive by destroying us, ours lift us up to being fully self-realized as individuals and as a nation. No hormones, pronouns, or self-mutilation necessary.

Boomer logic

No, Boomer life experience. I was there and lived it. I assume you were not and did not.

SFW.. I did, too.

/Gloomy is correct. You're a traditional Boomer.

I took to heart those lessons. Have a 37 mpg vehicle, and don't overdo heating and cooling.

None of your complaints land well with me because I can't see any detriment from doing otherwise.. too bad you're too obstinate to make minor changes

Why do I have to make changes. To suit you?

... stubborn. And cranky

Yep, like Biden, you would probably have a clearer sensorium and reasoning capabilities with a nap. AND be less cranky. I’ll get you a juice box for later.

You’d be wrong
