      Oh God yes, and it is reflected in my own family members who are all in their 70s. They strongly believe that a 70 or 80 year old is in “the prime of their life” and that “I have never been of sharper mind and more capable than at the age of 74.”

      Just totally delusional. “Me” generation indeed.

      Yeah that’s exactly what I was thinking.

      I feel really bad for Biden. There’s more that he wants to do. But he’s gotten too old to be able to do those things. But he’s accepted it, and he should be respected for that.

        I don’t think they’re saying Biden IS a baby boomer. They were saying that it’s all a metaphor for the boomers’ general approach to their lives.
