Lesson: OK, Boomer
This one was born in the early autumn of 2019. I hope you like it. If you read the title of this article and didn’t know what it means, then I have chosen well. There’s nothing new about generational divides. They’ve existed since there were generations. Now that we’re all living longer, gaps are opening up between multiple generations simultaneously. Currently, the youngest generation – Generation Z – has come up with a witty response that is infuriating to anyone older than 25. It’s ‘OK, Boomer.’ I’m not going to tell you what it means or from where it originated. You’ll have to read the articles for that. I will tell you that it’s been a trending meme on social media, and its purpose is to get your goat.

The better prepared you are, the more benefit you will receive from our conversations.
