Donald Trump appeared to describe a dementia screening he underwent at Walter Reed Medical Center as a 'very hard' IQ test while speaking with reporters inside Air Force One
From personal experience, I can tell you that being over 40 when you have a kid is a huge benefit. More patience, more money, more acceptance. Young parents tend to be emotionally unprepared for the challenges.
I’m over 60. My wife and I have a great trusting relationship with our teen son. He comes to us with concerns and problems. We encourage him to have all the room he wants to have his independent life. He is involved in all major decisions.
Maturity certainly has strong benefits. It is unfortunate that it also comes as the body begins to decay.
My grandmother died of Alzheimer’s - her mind failed long before her body. We are caring for a relative with Parkinson’s - her body has failed long before her mind.
It is best to take the individual into account. It would also be great if the lying of politicians was a prosecutable offense.
I’m just supporting you. Down to earth reasons why you’re right.
Old folks often get dismissed out of hand just for being old. “Boomers”, etc. It’s a small view of the world.
Some of us were the original punks. Some were hippies. Some still are. Many are excellent listeners that see all the problems that younger folks have and are working with them on solutions. When the shit goes down, we’ll provide safe houses. If you’ll just trust us.
Yeah, people are leaving out all the good things that boomers started.
A useful thing to remember is the term “sombunall” as popularized by RAW. Probably most especially when talking about nebulous things like “generations”.

You’re describing exactly what I’m talking about. Definitely case by case.

This is what happens when hippie boomers get involved. I am proud of my family member that was a big part of the response.
That’s awesome, man!
People talk a lot of shit about boomers. George Carlin was a boomer though, lol.

Yep. 100%. I do think a lot of the ageism being sowed as discord between generations is orchestrated. Another way to atomize the population.
Thank you
