Generational Conflict

In his 2020 book “Fault Lines: Fractured Families and How to Mend Them”, Karl Pillemar surveyed 1,340 Americans aged 18 and over, asking them the question: “Do you have any family members from whom you are currently estranged?” He discovered that more than a quarter of Americans surveyed, or 27 per cent, reported being estranged from a family member – a parent, grandparent, sibling, child, and so on. Extrapolated to the US adult population, that amounts to some 67 million people who are estranged from a family member. Pillemar found that ten per cent are estranged from a parent or child and eight per cent are no longer talking to a sibling. Some in the media are calling it a ‘silent epidemic’ of family break-ups.

What were your fave bands/songs from the #80s ?

#GenX #Music

Back in the late #70s, I was the air hockey KING.
Kids would line up their quarters on the side to get into the game, just hoping for a chance to unseat the KING.
My mighty reign was ended when Space Invaders came out.
You could find me at Arnold's on the Ave. or 'Lectric Palace at Northgate.
