Strange demographic is affecting millennial priorities
The running joke on social media is that millennials have skipped going through a midlife crisis and have gone straight to indulging in “Grandma Hobbies.” Bird watching, gardening, reading, knitting, crocheting, building puzzles, baking, playing cards, all of the things we generally ascribe to grandmothers, are now trending among a much younger demographic.

The real startup story is quietly happening elsewhere: trillions of dollars of wealth are slowly being transferred to a younger generation by boomers selling their businesses to those looking to build their own. According to a new report from BizBuySell, a business brokerage and research site, the number of small businesses being sold has not only recovered to pre-pandemic levels, but is quickly rising. And the market for would-be entrepreneurs is hot.
President Joe Biden
Politicians working past 65 reflects U.S. society
President Joe Biden and former President Donald Trump are hardly the only examples of politicians who work well into their golden years. Members of the baby-boom generation -- Americans born between 1946 and 1964 -- are the most numerous in the House, and in the Senate they outnumber lawmakers from all other generations combined. All told, two-thirds of U.S. senators and nearly half of House lawmakers are eligible for full retirement benefits through the Federal Employees' Retirement System. And yet they keep working. So do the four Supreme Court justices who are over 65.
