Boomerography

We continue with the subject of Boomer economics both from the aspect of what Boomers should do economically as to what to invest in which is indicated by the demographics of Boomers. Face it youngsters...we're still running the show! If you disagree or just don't like that, drop us a line. Also, MERRY CHRISTMAS!Support the show

We invite Jay Kassing back to discuss both investing strategies based on Boomer consumption habits and what to look out for in your overall strategy as far as risk. As you can imagine it is a weighty subject and somewhat complicated so this will be presented in two episodes in order to make it digestible. Hopefully you will find it illuminating and understandable...and of course, fun!Support the show

This episode is about reconnecting with old friends which with social media is quite a bit easier these days. However, much like a face to face encounter, an online one is subject to several things, one of which is that after years of not communicating the person may have changed or you may have. Focus on what you used to have in common and everything should be fine.Support the show

In this episode Pete Moss reads the original Thanksgiving Proclamation from George Washington in 1789. If you are a cancel culture believer then you can just be miserable and sit at the kid's table on Thursday. If you want to know the premise and origin of Thanksgiving then listen and enjoy. Happy Thanksgiving folks.Support the show

This episode is a visitation of the exodus of the universities of Texas and Oklahoma from the Big 12 to the SEC in light of their losses over the last weekend. There is a lot of noise out there from the sports pundits; most of it being negative. Of course, they love throwing dirt on these two schools because they just hate the fact that they decided to move. They are perpetuating the myth that they contacted the SEC with no prompting and that they are evil and bad for college athletics. The CFP committee already chose to punish OU for it in their initial rankings putting other one loss teams in front and everyone delights in throwing dirt on UT's football program. Be that as it may, this is a discussion of the reality for both and a look at the future.Support the show

This week whether or not to get the vaccine is discussed. Spoiler alert YES if you're a Boomer as you are right in the risk group. We can do 10 shows on all the irregularities that have been involved in this whole situation and all the lies and cancel culture perpetrated by YOUR own government. However, at the roost of this question is whether that is separate from your choice to get the vaccine or not. It isn't whose friend's cousin's mother's BFF got the shot and dropped dead (at the tender age of 78) the next day. It's whether or not you're going to make a rational health care decision for yourself based on the health considerations alone.Support the show

We all know that the generations after the Baby Boomers blame all the problems they and the world have on them. Much the same was done by a lot of Boomers in their youth. They talked about high minded ideals, freedom and equality and so forth. You can debate the sincerity of it but then compare it with the ignorant and foul mouthed rantings of millennials and younger when they discovered that their candidate doesn't always win in 2016. So many years of participation trophies and self-esteem coddling meant they lost it. Also, the lack of education evidenced by the atrocious language in this segment shows that when given the opportunity to "be heard" online they squander it. You'll say that this is only the left...and probably you are right; in both senses of the word. I haven't bleeped anything so remember what my Grandma used to say, "Cursing is neither intelligent nor attractive and one who resorts often to it shows a lack of vocabulary and breeding".Support the show

This episode delves into one of the reasons that Boomers are blamed and, indeed, hated by many of the generations after it is that we still believe that words mean things. We don't subscribe to the ridiculous reframing of the English language down to new  and multiple pronouns. We don't agree that just saying you are something and that something exists means you are a science denier, racist or hatemonger. As referenced earlier in an episode of this podcast, we aren't great at the game of Let's Pretend. We see things and we confront them head on within a framework of reality. We don't approach real (or even imagined) problems within a fantasy bubble. Therefore we are out of step with the woke, pc, gloom and doom bunch that is sweeping reality away and we are hated for stopping "progress".Support the show

This week Pete Moss talks about the challenge of the economics of being a Boomer. What are the economics? How do they affect Boomers (and other generations)? What are the things Boomers could and should do to make the situation better (not that it's necessarily bad). Of course, retirement looms large on the horizon for Boomers and it will affect that generation as well as the ones that will come after. Listen to the whole episode because there is good news at the end.Support the show
