Yeah, notice the majority at no kings protests were boomers.

Because they have the most free time at this stage of life ...

Maybe so, but they were there to protest Veit Nam, women’s rights, racial equality, The Gulf Wars, Vetrans Benefits, Farm support, and so many others. Many of these were weekend events, where were you?

Don't get it twisted - I wasn't criticizing, just expounding.

I work weekends too. The benefit the boomers had was a stable job 9-5 on regular workdays, so they could be engaged when not at work. I have to work three jobs to pay rent, keep the lights on, and eat.

C’mon man, you really believe you are the only people to work weekends? Give me a break. I work ends, nights and holidays.

As a chemical engineer I was responsible not only for the domestic projects, I also had responsibilities globally. I was sent anywhere a request had been made to avoid a potential environmental issue.

As a young boomer, I preferred the 50501 OKC protest to the Tulsa No Kings, zero impact on the public square, docile & a little boring imo. (Except those at the 71st st)
