Understanding Political Trends: A Deep Dive for Baby Boomers
Navigating the ever-evolving political landscape can be a complex endeavor, especially for Baby Boomers who have witnessed significant historical shifts over the decades. As this generation continues to play a crucial role in shaping political discourse, it’s essential to stay informed about current trends, policy changes, and key issues that impact their lives.
Understanding how major political parties address topics such as healthcare, Social Security, and Retirement benefits is vital. These issues are particularly pertinent to Baby Boomers, who are either approaching or already in retirement. By staying updated, they can make informed decisions that align with their values and interests.
Moreover, the rise of digital platforms has transformed how political information is disseminated and consumed. Baby Boomers must adapt to these changes to ensure they are receiving accurate and unbiased information. Engaging with reputable news sources, participating in online forums, and attending local community meetings can provide a well-rounded perspective.
In addition to staying informed, active political participation remains a cornerstone of democracy. Baby Boomers can leverage their experience and knowledge to advocate for policies that benefit their generation and future ones. Whether through voting, Volunteering for campaigns, or engaging in policy discussions, their involvement is more critical than ever.
By understanding political trends and actively participating in the democratic process, Baby Boomers can continue to influence the direction of the nation, ensuring their voices are heard and their interests are protected.

What if I told you the left-right political spectrum was an illusion? What if I told you there is no “left” or “right”? My guest is Hyrum Lewis, co-author of The Myth of Left and Right: How the Political Spectrum Misleads and Harms America. They argue that we’ve embraced a simplistic, faulty idea of an essential “left/liberalism” and an essential “right/conservatism.” And that, similar to embracing a faulty medical idea (like the old theory of the four humors), embracing a faulty political theory has hurt us in major ways. For one thing, it creates a perception that instead o…

As someone who makes a living helping managers and executives become better leaders, I always take a moment when the political climate changes. Why? Because this is where we observe leadership both at its best and at its worse, usually within nano-seconds of each other. All the rancor and rhetoric around the change of government administration always causes me to pause. While I have vowed to never let politics enter my domain of communication here, I cannot help but observe humanity at play as political tides change. Without calling out one side or the other, I find it always interesting…

Richard Nixon remains one of the more fascinating and complex figures in American history, embodying well-known deep flaws in parallel with acts of brilliance. His most infamous role was as the puppet master behind the Watergate scandal, ultimately leading to his resignation from the Presidency and scarring his legacy. Some historians point to Watergate as the watershed (ha!) moment beginning the decades-long slippery slide (ha! ha!) of anti-government paranoia leading to today. However, Nixon’s career also exhibited sharp intellect, strategic political thinking, and an ability…

“This is not just an executive order. There is a point behind net zero goals, and this is to address climate change and global warming. A million and a half EVs were sold last year. Infrastructure is still being built. I’d say the train has left the station." Joan Michelson on Full Crew Podcast The U.S. government has provided $7 billion in funding for critical minerals and $7 billion to fund 500,000 electric vehicle (EV) charging stations. With a new administration now in place, what can this mean for the transition to EVs, as well as EV policies and regulations? Listen to Joan Michels…
