As the later Boomers retire there is going to be a serious competency crisis.
Florida 2016 - Trump - +1.2%
Florida 2020 - Trump - +3.4%
1960 Cuban refugees and their American born children and grandchildren are heavily concentrated in Dade County.
All of them are citizens, and at least 60% are Republican.
Most of the 1960 Cubans trace their ancestry to Europe, not to Africa or the Caribbean.
1980 (and later) Cuban refugees - almost all of them are African or Caribbean. Highest concentration - metropolitan New York City. They are at least 70% Democrat.
How did Trump win Texas?
Two factors. Texas Hispanics are the most Republican in the USA - at least 40%.
Also, compared to Florida, a much larger share of Texas Hispanics are NOT American citizens.
USA Total Hispanic Vote - Trump 2016 - 28%
USA Total Hispanic Vote - Trump 2020 - 32%
BTDT... I totally agree.
I was born in the late ‘80’s, and today I was called a, “very dilligent, honest worker” by one of the pharmacists.
Sadly, much of my generation doesn’t share my work ethic, and the Gen Z I work with arw just... Entitled and lazy. There are too few who are not.
This. Ultimately, they were raised this way.
And the "Greatest" Generation spoiled the Boomers. And the Silent Genration raised the Xers to be latchkey kids without regard for marriage.
And someone else raised the "Greatest" and Silent Generations to be as they were.
One can always blame the generation that came before.
Start by getting rid of HR departments and all cameras and don’t allow cell phones in the work place.
That solves the lawsuit issue.
Sarcasm if you can’t see it but these pussies need a dose of reality in the form of a hard core lesson.
Boomers and X - tanned, rested, and ready.

“Shirtsleeves to shirtsleeves in three generations”.
How can they be toxic for a company if they don’t show up?
When it all collapses they won’t be able to figure out what happened
Overall in 2020, Hispanics voted 2/1 for Biden; and blacks, 7/1. Asians, close to 2/1.
Under-30 went about 1.66/1 for Trump.
Slot that into the FL and TX demographics, and it is easy to see it relatively close. Thank God for the old white folks, who are the most reliable, actual voters.
It is ironic that these critters were raised by Boomers. I can’t speak for everyone else, but the other Boomers I’ve worked with over the decades have been excellent employees with a great work ethic.
Generalization; not across the board: I did notice that they had a crazy view of their kids, though, almost worshipful. Some I knew would request that the adults in the room stop speaking if Little Johnny, three years old, wanted to expound on something. I’m thinking, “WTF”? They got everything they wanted, and parents traipsed them to every possible activity at the expense of their own sanity and schedule.
The kids were given so much, and were so catered to. It made no sense to me.
“But they have awesome tattoos”
That made me LOL. We hired a young couple who just started a business to clean our house, and they’re in the range of Gen Z. The guy is covered with tattoos (although I can’t see ALL of him), and his wife/girlfriend has a few. He was a tattoo artist.
They’re a paradox. When they work, they work their asses off and do an amazing job. Hubby is OCD, and loves them. BUT, trying to get them to respond to emails, texts, voice mails is impossible. They simply don’t. Frustrating. We’ll probably let them go due to the communication issue.
Public “education” is finally paying dividends to the would-be rulers...
I’ve posted this before, but my friend had this happen. He hired a Gen Z critter in an office job. The next morning, he did show up, but a couple hours after starting time, the kid’s mother called the boss. She carefully explained how her son should be spoken to, otherwise, he gets upset. (Kid didn’t last long; my friend spoke to him as he spoke to everyone else.)
His MOTHER called his boss. That’s just nuts. Talk about snowflakes.
A superabundance of Indians and Chinese in their corporate headquarters. Also, they are building a new satellite headquarters in Hyderabad with intent to hire 5,000 new employees.
This is a long standing American company, mind you.
Americans are not benefitting from pedojoes "recovery" whatsoever. The real job growth is limited to H1Bs and retaining older workers, on the one hand and offshoring on the other.
America, you had a good run, but got fat, lazy, and soft. Voted that way, too!
“Generation Z has a higher percentage of introverts compared to other generations”
Technology has separated them from actual people.
“Soul crushing.” That’s true, but if you need to find something in the store, those cart pushers know EVERYTHING.
Boomer here.
Just sitting back and watching the show now.
