    Was watching the news reports of the protests in America last night and I happen to have been listening to a podcast about how much the Russians used social media to interfere with the American election and our referendum earlier in the day. Got me thinking, I wonder how much of the stuff on...

    He’s right. You had to be growing up in the 80’s to be gen X rather than born in the 80’s. The millennials received such a bashing during the culture wars that nobody thinks they’re a millennial. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
