— Central High School in Kane County promposal goes viral, some classmates call it racist – Will Jones (COMMENT: Did you attend your high school prom? I did not attend my 1966 Crete-Monee High School prom. I lacked self-confidence back then. I had spent my junior and senior years and the summer in between washing dishes for the minimum wage in the basement of the S.S. Kresge in Chicago Heights. My understanding is that I was the first and only White male who held that job. If I had more self-confidence back then, I would have a) majored in accounting at UIC, NIU, and Loyola and b) taken and passed the CPA examination much sooner than I did. I got more motivated to take and pass the CPA examination after I learned that my Trinity Lutheran, Hope Lutheran, and Crete-Monee classmate 1953-1966 who had gotten me the dishwashing job had passed the CPA examination.)

— Baby boomers, Gen X, millennials and more: Your guide to the generations. Each generation has a reason behind its name, as well as cultural events that shaped the personalities of the people in them. – Ashley Nash (COMMENT: I am a baby boomer. I should write a book about those in Wheaton, in Milton Township, in DuPage County, and in Illinois who have promoted the most hatred against baby boomers, and especially against baby boomers who are Trump supporters, conservative, patriotic, Republican, American, White, male, older, heterosexual, married, non-veteran, non-poor, gun owners, Christian, Protestant, Italian American, German American, and/or those whose ancestors have been in America for a long time.)

(FROM THE ARTICLE: Baby boomers: Born between 1946 and 1964. 58-76 years old. Following World War II, there was a “boom” in the birthrate — hence the name baby boomers. The population of this generation peaked in 1999, at 78.8 million boomers, according to CNN. “Because of their high numbers and the relative prosperity of the U.S. economy during their careers, the baby boomers are an economically influential generation,” reported Investopedia. Baby boomers are defined as the “gloomiest generation,” by Pew, given they have rated their satisfaction of life lower and levels of anxiety higher than any other adult generation.)
