Experts have dubbed it a “silver tsunami.”

I wish I could feel sympathy, but I don't. The Reagan generation did this to themselves, and the rest of us have to suffer with them.

    It's annoying when another generation is out of touch, though. Boomers are often, but not always, guilty of that.

    I'm starting to see their being out of touch as partly because they only engage within their generation. If we want to put a stop to generational shit what we need to do is build more cross-generation communication. Arguably social media is doing this already though.

          It's where you set up a little table, usually with some pamphlets or something, and set up where there's lots of foot traffic. It's handy for getting petitions signed, collecting money for whatever, or just talking to people about a cause to build community support.
