Another observation: millennials now outnumber boomers.The older generation can't hold them back anymore. Millennials can vote into existence the policies, priorities and lives they want. From here on, the USA is a reflection of them and their values. It's all on them now.

I can't see change happening until they are well and truly long gone.
