Good morning, USPG2. It sounds like the House is close to passing the BBB, which will likely get the Senate's blessing (since they already voted to pass it once), and we will get to make fun of doomers for the Nth time this year. 2025 is turning out to be pretty great for politics. Unless you're a communist, of course.
there's really only 2 things I disagree with the BBB on (Pell grants and killing pro poker with the 90 percent deduction), but otherwise I'm all for it.
 
I've never heard a black person explain how they intend to hold political power in society as 13% of the population once unrestricted mass immigration finishes robbing white guilt of political influence. Probably because:

They are a insanely reliable voting block for the Dems. Now either through bussing, told by their church, and/or fraud something like 80% of black people vote for Dems and you can get that number even higher if its a black Dem.

Even if they stay home their is a system in place to make sure that mail in vote still happened.
 
if you are 35 years old, about half of your life is gone.
1: what the fuck were you doing from 18-35?
2: it is not that hard to find a job. it takes effort and calling people back, sure, but you can get a min wage job pretty fast if you even have to lie about prior work experience.
 
How many times have you jackwagons tagged HHH in here, how many times have you seen him vomit the same tired retarded lines.. Do you expect him to actually do anything but bait you fucking idiots and derail the thread for a few pages? I miss when tagging him would get you thread banned for a day.

I've seen this happen no less than a dozen times, you people cannot help yourself.

Trump got like 37% of the black male vote but that's an extreme anomaly mostly due to Trump's crude rapper like machismo appealing to black men.

It's unlikely to ever happen again.
 
No, I'm thinking of gen z. Millenials back in the late 90's, I was told, were people born between 1990-2005.

See an article from 2007 that has been unchanged, that has the date even in 2007 jumped forward five years:

My pet theory as to why this is occurring is that younger millenials in sociology departments are moving it backwards to include more and more of them in the gen z category lmao.
Cultural touchstones is generally easier than specific date ranges, and my rule of thumb has always been that if you can remember where you were on 9/11, you're probably a millennial over gen z. We're the last generation to remember a time before smart phones and social media.
2005 is nuts to me as an endpoint, that'd be 15 during COVID. Being in public education during the pandemic is absolutely a zoomer thing.

Fuck off. If people want to tag me I'm happy to hear what they have to say. If you don't like it, block me.
 
So you're cool with gutting medicaid to give tax cuts to billionaires? Why? A few months ago you were saying that crashing the economy was good, now you want tax cuts for billionaires?
Brother there 840 billionaires in the US and 1.2 million illegals on Medicaid. If those dudes get a bigger piece of the cuts I really don't care. We fix this now or we aren't getting Social Security or Medicaid when we are old.

It's almost like in the late 90's the public didn't predict 9/11, the 2008 recession, Obama, Trump, COVID or Biden.

Also nobody who argues for gen z to be recognized earlier can convince me they're not doing it to avoid rightfully being called a millenial. People need to stop being faggots about age.

The term "zoomer"/"Generation Z" is relatively recent invention hence its lack of appearance early on.
Here's an article from 2012 where people were trying to discuss what term to refer to the generation after millennials.

"Zoomer" doesn't come up, but "Gen Z" does.

If we go with the "iGeneration", then the zoomer birth year could be the same as the iPod - 2001, or old enough at the time to actually comprehend and use it, which would have them older than a few years?

Lmao, I have the opposite theory where people want to narrow the timeframe zoomers were born in to avoid being included as apart of that generation themselves because of the negative stigma attached to them, especially on the political right. Even the article I posted says people wanted to avoid being apart of a bad generation so I think my theory tracks.

I haven't often seen zoomers as being regarded as being strictly in or post 2000 though.

There is another term called "Zillennial" that may offer a compromise. They might also be what you're thinking of.

I mean, a generation is a cultural concept for analyzing history. It's inherently a reflective classification. The dates are going to shift. I'm pretty sure the Boomers didn't get deadlocked to ending by 1964 in academia until the early 1990's.

Wrong. When I say 'gen z' I am talking about 'the generation after millenials'.

If I really wanted to, and didn't mind spending an afternoon or two trying to find out how to access sites that would have the data, I could find some stupid sociology paper explaining exactly what I'm talking about. It took me minutes to find an old unedited article showing that the date had already leaped back 5 years to 1984-2000 by 2007.

The entire purpose of the term 'millenial', again as I was originally told back in the late 90's, was because that was the 'new generation' that was around for the turning of the millenium.

This is all again just people who don't want to feel old. Gen X who want to be called millenials, faggot millenials who want to be called zoomers. I am not 'thinking of something else'.

Then the entire concept is worthless if it can shift 15 years up over as many years. At any rate, I am merely sharing what is the original date range and why.

Then how come previous generations before Baby Boomers never thought to name themselves? Pretentious asses. As if any demographic group acts as a monolith. It's only a tool for the intellectually lazy.
