30 boomers you’ve gotta love
They’re timeless! Baby boomers may get criticism from younger generations, but not these boomers. Sally Field, the magnificent Dolly Parton, Samuel L. Jackson, Sylvester Stallone, Tom Hanks, Michelle Pfeiffer and two dozen more.
Every generation throws a toilet up the pop charts
‘Skibidi Toilet’ is a meme, a made-up moral panic, and a YouTube blockbuster. But is it art?
Every generation has its power objects, those cultural totems that serve both to unify it and to alienate it from the previous generation. It’s a perfect reciprocating process: The more it alienates, the more it unifies. Gen X has Kurt Cobain, West Coast hip-hop, and thinly tweezed eyebrows. Millennials have avocado toast, “work to live,” and the color pink. Gen Z has Teletubbies, TikTok, and gender. The Baby Boomers, of course, have Elvis, the Beatles, Reagan, automobiles-as-pleasure-object, and basically anything that has annoyingly become synonymous with the core idea of “American culture.”
Wall Street wants boomers to work longer. But nobody wants to hire them.
Larry Fink, the 71-year-old CEO of the asset-management behemoth BlackRock, offered a two-part solution to the looming retirement crisis. In order to avoid economic catastrophe, he argued, people should save more money and work longer. "What if the government and the private sector treated 60-plus year-olds as late-career workers with much to offer rather than people who should retire?" Fink wrote. The problem is that his plan overlooks a few key realities.
Can immigration save Social Security?
The Social Security program helps tens of millions of retired Americans after years of paying into the system through their income. But the Social Security Administration is still facing a funding knife edge in the not-so-distant future that could see benefits cut by nearly 20 percent if lawmakers don't act. There is a fix, but its desirability is a matter of opinion depending on where you fall on the political spectrum—immigration.
Gen Z and millennials just aren’t that into stocks and bonds—and what that means for the $84 trillion Great Wealth Transfer
There is a generational divide among wealthy Americans when it comes to investing. According to a survey published by Bank of America Private Bank of over 1,000 high-net-worth individuals, 72% of younger generations (millennials and Gen Z) believe it's no longer possible to achieve above average returns by investing solely in traditional stocks and bonds, which is more than double the number of older investors (Gen X, baby boomers, and the Silent Generation) who share that sentiment.
