Nebraska Rep. Don Bacon said he plans to introduce a companion bill to the bipartisan Senate legislation aimed at reclaiming Congress’ authority over tariffs, becoming the first House Republican to openly challenge the powers President Donald Trump is using to launch a massive global trade war.
They seem to have REALLY amped up the division between age groups in the past 15 years or so. I mean there was always low-grade simmering resentment between Gen X and what we thought of the boomers - and to a much larger degree: their parents’ generation - if you want to be honest.
But I don’t think the mainstream media ever gave a flying fuck what Gen X ever thought - most of the focus switched from the 60s generation forever and always, and then nearly immediately flipped to focusing on Gen Y and craving their approval (and dollars). Gen X didn’t have as many people in it, so it’s really just a financial decision…not because any one generation is really more important or magically different or anything.
I think the mainstream outlets have really dialed it up between Gen Y and boomers and now we have this stupid intra-generational warfare as if every experience between one set of people born between a certain set of years is exactly the same thing, which is about one of the dumbest things I’ve ever heard, but here we are…it goes back to at least the boomers as far as how people took the lazy way out in thinking about a diverse set of people, but I think it’s just about market segmentation and a weapon of the elites.
agreed 100%. tons of ways to divide a people
