But if Gen X are going to live much longer than #Boomers, they will be healthier for longer, so need to look at 90+ or even older before lots of health care is needed.
I'm old enough to remember that when you were under 20 years old and obese, they just called you "Husky".

“It’s the election billed as the battle between #Boomers and #Zoomers. By most estimates, it’s the first time #GenZ s and #Millennials outnumber their parents and grandparents as a voting bloc.
The parties have attempted to tailor their #SocialMedia pitches accordingly on issues that disproportionately affect #YoungPeople: the cost of living, HECS debts and housing. A tide of social media #memes, AI ads and several diss tracks have been met with varying levels of enthusiasm from their target audience.”

If I should happen to mention #mansplaining in a conversation with my brother-in-law, I'm fairly certain that he would go on to give me a detailed account of what it is, while pointing out all the things I have got wrong about it.
He would do so, completely in earnest and with a straight face, never realizing what was happening.

“For the first time, #GenZ and #Millennials outnumber #Boomers as the biggest voting bloc. I can’t speak for everyone, but the general mood on the ground is bleak.
Younger generations in particular are, rightfully, increasingly #disillusioned with the two-party system, which serves a dwindling minority of #morbidly wealthy players rather than the general public.
We’re tired of the mudslinging, scare campaigns, confected culture wars and other transparent political theatrics that incite division while distracting the public and media from legitimate critical issues. We don’t need games. We need bold, urgent, sweeping economic and social reforms. There’s frankly no time for anything else.
Last year was officially the hottest on record globally, exceeding 1.5 degrees Celsius above pre-industrial levels. #Multinational #FossilFuel #corporations continue to pillage our #resources and coerce our elected officials while paying next to #NoTax.” — #GraceTame

Are you taking the over or the under?
My partial boycot of the USA is extending out to #Language.
I'll be using #Boomers to refer to mature male kangaroos, evaluating tone to interpret meaning and looking critically at #Americanisms.
To replace the Australian language lost to #CulturalInvasion I'd like to bring Aboriginal words. But I know very very few of them. Will try.
But the criminal language of the majority of the #WhiteInvaders is available to me.
So coves, back to the best.

So childcare affordability, housing affordability, childcare service quality, generational inequity and the budget bottom line could all be improved with moderate reform to Capital Gains Tax and Negative Gearing but it’s off the table because of… #Boomers

#millennial nostalgia for indie grime and Four Loko as a badge of honor gives me shades of the same cringe I get from #boomers talking about the 60's (that they weren't a part of).
Partially because I was in Williamsburg in the aughts, where that shit was concentrated, but also cause there's the GenX part of me that thinks nostalgia of any sort of dangerously opposed to protective apathy.

@Okanogen It's a good point. We cannot paint an entire group.or generation one way because that leads to ideas of collective guilt and that does no one any favors.
Also just to put a few other actions to the list:
The #antiwar Hippies were mostly #boomers .
The people locking themselves to trees and chemical refinery gates in the 70's -90's were mostly #boomers .
The young folk who helped create Earth day were mostly #boomers .
Me? I'm #genx .
