Dates that will live in Infamy<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

I think if you’re at all familiar with US history, you get where I’m going with this.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This did come up recently on a podcast that Justin Campbell did Fact Check This<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

When I was doing research into this as an undergrad, there was an interesting split among the demographers. I consider myself Generation X. The US Census Bureau agrees. Some of the academics, however, don’t. My parents were (typing that is a bit strange, seeing as how my mother is still alive…) early Baby Boomers. I was born before the kickoff of the 1980 campaign. I remember bits and pieces of the Reagan reelection campaign. The teachers were in the smoking<\/s>teachers’ lounge watching Christa McAuliffe on 1\/28\/1986.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I apologize that this is kind of scatterbrained. I’m tired. But I did get my recharge this morning, so maybe I can enjoy Thanksgiving.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What do I do for Small Business Saturday? How many of those are left after so many were destroyed to save people from the scourge of COVID?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What is the shared moment for the generation born from 1995 – 2010? Why doesn’t that generation also run twenty years like the Boomers?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I really don’t know. I wonder if my Flooz are on a backup somewhere.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
