I forgot about that point: The anti-war protests diminished when the
draft ended. The war continued a few more years after drafting was
over. That tells me a lot of the anti-war hippies weren't anti-war as
long as someone else was going.

When I was in college around 1970, I didn’t know any hippies, but I
can tell you the Vietnam War was not very popular with those of us in
the draft pool. And while I don’t remember going to any antiwar
protests, the Kent State shootings made an impression.
It is funny my kids assume there was no sex, drugs or rock and roll
back then. Have they never watched an Austin Powers movie? Or Cheech
and Chong?
I did know one kid in college, his dad owned an engineering company
and promised to sign it over to the kid the day he graduated with an
engineering degree. It took him 5 years, but he got the degree, and
the dad kept his word. The kid immediately sold the company and went
to Canada to avoid the draft. The other thing I remember was he drove
a Shelby AC Cobra. Not a Shelby Mustang, an actual AC Cobra.

Yeah those damn lazy millennial kids are all about to hit 40.
IMO, the boomer generation being anti-war hippies was simply a matter
of optics because those are the people who were making the news.
Overall it's a conservative age group. A slight majority of boomers
voted for Richard Nixon.

Okay now I am having too much fun :-P
Every "generation" feels the one before it shafted them and the
older generation always feels like they are better than the one
they gave birth to.
But apparently you don't have to be a baby boomer anymore to have
a kid say "okay boomer" to you. One of my sons said that to me
this weekend... and while I don't feel like I identify with
millennials I technically am one. So take that baby boomers :-D

Millennials seem to believe all their problems are because
their generation got screwed over by the baby boomers. Not
sure where this comes from, but it seems to be accepted fact
among Bernie supporters. Like I have student debt and a
crummy job and no love life because of the damn baby boomers.
Good luck telling them they’re lazy, you’ll get about the same
reaction as telling someone from the MAGAverse to wear a mask.
Or yeah yeah yeah, old man, I know, get off your lawn, and you
used to walk 5 miles to school uphill both ways.

We don't allow people to come in when they want. If they are
sick they are out for the whole day. We feel it protects the
workers that show up on time.

If you have guys call in not feeling well, but they think they
might be able to make it by noon, do you let them come in?
Like why reward laziness/hangovers. But if they are really
sick, stay home and recuperate.
Had 4 like that this morning. One is recovering from gall
bladder surgery last week, so it is understandable.
Not sure about the rest. Monday absenteeism after a payday
smacks of drug usage in my opinion.
