GOOD.
Pelosi has been in congress for 36 years. To put this in perspective, that's longer than I've been voting. Time to retire.

2 0 ReplyI can't find a good summary and am not in any way an expert in this field. But I think these generations are technically based on defining events in the world and likely common experiences more than a close tie to biological generations. If you look at the page for the Silent Generation wiki page there is some explanation of that. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Silent_Generation#Terminology
TL;DR it's all very loosey goosey.
