Welcome to the News community!
Rules:
1. Be civil
Attack the argument, not the person. No racism/sexism/bigotry. Good faith argumentation only. This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban. Do not respond to rule-breaking content; report it and move on.
2. All posts should contain a source (url) that is as reliable and unbiased as possible and must only contain one link.
Obvious biased sources will be removed at the mods’ discretion. Supporting links can be added in comments or posted separately but not to the post body. Sources may be checked for reliability using Wikipedia, MBFC, AdFontes, GroundNews, etc.
3. No bots, spam or self-promotion.
Only approved bots, which follow the guidelines for bots set by the instance, are allowed.
4. Post titles should be the same as the article used as source. Clickbait titles may be removed.
Posts which titles don’t match the source may be removed. If the site changed their headline, we may ask you to update the post title. Clickbait titles use hyperbolic language and do not accurately describe the article content. When necessary, post titles may be edited, clearly marked with [brackets], but may never be used to editorialize or comment on the content.
5. Only recent news is allowed.
Posts must be news from the most recent 30 days.
6. All posts must be news articles.
No opinion pieces, Listicles, editorials, videos, blogs, press releases, or celebrity gossip will be allowed. All posts will be judged on a case-by-case basis. Mods may use discretion to pre-approve videos or press releases from highly credible sources that provide unique, newsworthy content not available or possible in another format.
7. No duplicate posts.
If an article has already been posted, it will be removed. Different articles reporting on the same subject are permitted. If the post that matches your post is very old, we refer you to rule 5.
8. Misinformation is prohibited.
Misinformation / propaganda is strictly prohibited. Any comment or post containing or linking to misinformation will be removed. If you feel that your post has been removed in error, credible sources must be provided.
9. No link shorteners or news aggregators.
All posts must link to original article sources. You may include archival links in the post description. News aggregators such as Yahoo, Google, Hacker News, etc. should be avoided in favor of the original source link. Newswire services such as AP, Reuters, or AFP, are frequently republished and may be shared from other credible sources.
10. Don't copy entire article in your post body
For copyright reasons, you are not allowed to copy an entire article into your post body. This is an instance wide rule, that is strictly enforced in this community.

As usual, no mention of Gen X.
the ninja generation
listen close, theyre around here somewhere..
You know, I hate the joke, but it seems to have a special place in their heart...
How do you know someone is Gen X? Well, you don't really care, but they'll tell you anyways.
My dad was trying to tell me he was a millennial the other day. I tell him "no, you're not", he says he's definitely too young to be a boomer and lists off the boomer birth range.
I just stared at him for a second, before reminding him Gen X exists and he's part of it
Even Gen X forgets there's a Gen X
They are all vegan?
Found the person who enjoys unoriginal jokes.
Says that very person
Why? They got their house when they were still affordable and there wasn't a shortage. During their time, they could negotiate prices down. They're not the ones being affected by the boomers.
My dude, they've been riding us our whole lives
I don't think they're blaming them, just explaining why they aren't mentioned in this scenario
No problem. I'm definitely not blaming them. They're just a bit lucky to have been there at the right time.
Otherwise, their demography didn't have the voting power the boomers had. So it didn't matter what they wanted, they just took whatever they could before it all went to shit.
No I’m…doesn’t!
Seriously, plenty of us missed the window
At this point I think gen x is getting conflated with boomers because what people often mean when they say "boomer" is old people. And let's face it, you Xers aren't exactly spring chickens.
Whatever.
meh
They were mentioned at least once
And then.. crickets.
We are definitely the forgotten generation!
