one of very few in the demographic posting on this board. I doubt there are more than 3 regular posters here under 30.

Under 30 usually means mush for brains and not much useful to say.

Don't trust anyone over 30.

Sounds like a lot of senile folks or religious fanatics over the age of 65.

While I probably came off as an angry Boomer-basher, that wasn't my intent. I think most theorizing about generations is crap, the softest of the soft sciences. The differences between Boomers, Gen Xer's, and Millennials---assuming these categories actually “exist”---is minimal. Crotchery old folks and useless young folks have existed since at least Socrates' time, and well before that I'm sure.

I don't deny we have some serious flaws in our culture, flaws that go back “generations” and that extend to all age cohorts. But it grinds my gears when I hear Boomers bitching about how allegedly worthless young people are today, with absolutely no understanding of what the current economy looks like to the average working-class person in their 20s or 30s. The Great Recession is reality for a lot of us, not just something we shake our head about as we read the WSJ.

As it is moreso for many Boomers who lost their retirement savings. Why do you think it is you see so many old folks doing jobs a lot of younger folks won't? Bad economy hurts everyone, it doesn't select an age group.

you ARE aware that you brain loses tens of thousands of brain cells due to age alone once you hit 28-30, right

Marijuana might cause new cell growth in the brain

A synthetic chemical similar to the active ingredient in marijuana makes new cells grow in rat brains. What is more, in rats this cell growth appears to be linked with reducing anxiety and depression. The results suggest that marijuana, or its derivatives, could actually be good for the brain.

In mammals, new nerve cells are constantly being produced in a part of the brain called the hippocampus, which is associated with learning, memory, anxiety and depression. Other recreational drugs, such as alcohol, nicotine and cocaine, have been shown to suppress this new growth. Xia Zhang of the University of Saskatchewan in Saskatoon, Canada, and colleagues decided to see what effects a synthetic cannabinoid called HU210 had on rats' brains.

They found that giving rats high doses of HU210 twice a day for 10 days increased the rate of nerve cell formation, or neurogenesis, in the hippocampus by about 40%.

Did you know you can graft cannabis on to hops vines, since they are closely related (in the same plant family)?

Earlier this month, WeWork stated in a 10-Q filing that "substantial doubt exists about the company's ability to continue as a going concern." Since WeWork continues to hemorrhage cash and liquidity is running thin, the money-losing business is on its last leg.

I remember this nose-picker. I even watched 1 minute of him spruking on youtube, that was enough. Just another huckster, just another milking operation of the American public. Of course banks will step up and fund these con jobs as well, after all it costs them nothing as the money is simply created and it keeps the facade up, keeps the total dollars in circulation rising, without which there won't be enough money in circulation to repay the interest on the old loans. And if that ever happens it's game over.

It's not hard to figure this out. Interest Must be repaid on loans, Government loans, housing loans, The system can afford some bankruptcy but not a protracted downturn in money supply. That was the problem in 1930's if you recall. Not enough money in the system, the system collapsed. So for now hundreds of billions will be created for the ukraine, for esoteric startups, for crap like tesla and space-X. But never for roads or anything productive, not for anything that would actually lift the standard of living for the average American. There is little profit in that stuff for the pump and dump crowd that is behind all this insanity.

Oh that's right Plant, it's not wealthy elites, it's Biden, it's all Biden
