I'll entertain you. In your opinion, just which generation has most contributed to current worldwide innovation, safety, travel and economy?

What?!?!
Richest man in the world is GenX.

You get goods shipped straight to your house because of GenX.

The tech industry has been dominated by Xers for awhile now.

I can keep going

Edit - now that I think about it GenX sucks. We made the things that made everyone after us Charmin soft.

lol you said safety. Typical Gen X helicopter parent

But boomers continue to dog walk Xers in every important aspect of life despite being past their prime and millennials will carry the torch. Xers are silent gen 2.0. Largely irrelevant

Gen X is getting passed economically, in government, tech, really everything

Too funny. Nearly exactly like my childhood.

Some adds:
- started cutting grass at 8yo
- movies/stores on bike alone w/friends 10yo
- slept at buddy’s house, even if his older siblings were in / past puberty.

Some luck:
- little league football coaches held water from us in hot S LA heat for 2 hrs.
- predatory priests were still hidden well
- the “weird” adult neighbor who wanted to be blood brothers with all the boys in the neighborhood was invited to bbq’s.

Safety equates to military, home security, automobile safety innovation and I could go on and on for another 20 bullets. You're showing your immaturity today.

Which generation has been the greatest innovators? Let's say it's not X. Who then, IYO? All your comfort, security, travel, leisure, entertainment, technology, you name it. Go off with your list

What do millennials dominate? Besides having gayed up every institution on planet Earth.

Not really. Despite being a much smaller generation numbers wise as compared to the ones before and after and despite going through 2 major crashes during what should have been our economic coming of age years, we still hold over 25% of the nation's wealth. Boomers hold just about 1/2 of that wealth, but that is expected since they are nearing the end of their run. Will Xers ever hold 1/2 like Boomers do now? Maybe, but most likely not. The numbers game works against us. But on personal wealth held, we are projected to surpass Boomers at the end of the day.

Nope

Your generation has built its identity on parents that weren’t there for their children

It’s fricking hysterical watching yall wear that like a badge of honor and still dropping out the workforce like dead flies

Kiddo, don't blame me for your 1 parent home, every other weekend with Dad, apartment complex pool day and Dominos pizza nights. Your upbringing image isn't reflecting from everyone else's mirror. I hope you break the cycle, sincerely.

Huh?

You don’t agree that there is a strange relationship with Gen X dudes and no parenting but also thinking y’all’s parents were the best?

You can’t have it both ways ding dong

I love watching yall spin your wheels about it though
