       What do you wise women think about Meghan Murphy's latest piece in the Spectator? I usually love her work, but this piece really irritated me. Mostly based on a couple of news articles and some social media posts, she takes millennials to task for failing to comply with social distancing. Several of those commenting on her Facebook post pointed out that in their experience, it was the elderly not taking it seriously. It's the same for me - in my building, it's the old people who just won't keep their distance, esp one sweet old lady I really like. And just today at the supermarket, we were shocked that most people (of all ages!) gave no one any space, getting right close, unthinkingly crowding close to get something off a shelf. Just didn't sit well with me to stoke inter-generational divides (however much those spring breakers in FL deserved criticism). I hate it when people do it using "boomers;" don't like millennials being made scapegoats, either.https://spectator.us/millennials-boomers-coronavirus-social-distancing/?fbclid=IwAR05vTRKhJGjPPnJczu8XApdPDGd4Gd69sue-q6wUyGLIBYxe6_dshJC4ks

       @PumpkinPie I really dislike blame of any generation because the analysis always runs short and is divisive. I would rather not engage in shallow analysis.

       @PumpkinPie Love MM but Spring Breakers are NOT Millenials!! Spring Breakers are college kids - aka 22 max. They are Gen z.That being said... we all gotta pay our bills somehow. I once wrote "5 Things You Didn't Know May Be Secretly Killing You In the Office" soooo...... I'm not gonna judge lol.

       @PumpkinPie (To be fair, she's not the only one doing this. This article, for example, also refers to anyone 16-29 as "Millenial" when that age range is overwhelmingly not.)https://www.nationalreview.com/2020/03/how-the-coronavirus-pandemic-could-come-to-define-the-millennial-generation/
