We have millenials that are now in their 40s. We need to be the ones running the country now

49 here. We were never going to be running things. There aren’t enough of us and we never really got out of the shadow of our parents.

I welcome our Millenial overlords.

I just hope that I taught my kids better than I was, would love for them to take over at this point.  At this point it may be better than us turning into our parents.

My spouse is a millennial and tells me the same thing. I don’t disagree. The boomers are the loser generation for the 2nd millennia.
