I love this guy's energy

Most of the service people I saw in this clip are older Millenial or they are GenX, but your type of monologuing doesn’t help. Also, there are many Boomer generation elders out there on the streets protesting every day (the majority of them women) and the younger people are speaking up in praise of them. Please refrain from speaking in a manner that further divides this country into ageist factions. It’s not helpful.
