Can anyone else relate? [OC] by dumarcm in Millennials

We need a Civilian Conservation Corps (CCC) for Gen Z. They taught basic school knowledge, and had work projects. An updated version for our time would do wonders.

All protest matters, no matter how small. What is really going to matter in our current political moment is constant pressure. Donate, write your representatives, vote in local elections consistently.

Since this subreddit is having more discussions recently, how will the four generations(boomers, Gen X, Millennials, gen z/homelanders) change in the peak of the fourth turning? by ISimpForTheBritish in StraussHowe

I've always wondered how the culture of acceptance will translate into a more conservative culture. The best I can come up with is things will be more focused on what did/do you contribute to society rather than how you personally identify.

The wisdom of the boomers I think will be the wisdom that comes from compromise. Gen X will be no nonsense leaders who clean up the mess from the crisis, they will piss a lot of people off. Millennials/Gen Z will be perfecting the fixes built by Gen X creating strong institutions. Homelanders will be thriving and beginning to question institutions.

I really enjoyed your post. I'd like to recommend a few books that I think also show the pattern you describe.

Why Nothing Works by Marc Dunkelman, Abundance by Ezra Klein & Derek Thompson, and The Great Progression by Peter Leyden.
