@AntonioGuzxx @SeizeTheNae Laettner was a starter in his first 6 seasons averaging 16 points and 8 boards, was a member of the All-Rookie First Team and an NBA All-Star in 1997. Averaged 12.8 points, 6.7 rebounds, and 2.6 assists per game over career. Was it stellar? No. But not horrible.

@Supersonic_Red The feeling in your gut when you took on a big hill on your skateboard or tried to jump over objects while on your bike not knowing if you were going to be seriously injured. As long as bones were not broken, mom applied mercurochrome and a bandaid and said to go walk it off.

Good morning, Generation Jones. ☕️ Yesterday’s conversation was so much fun that I woke up thinking about all the things only our generation would understand. High school was a blast then. We passed notes instead of texts. Had actual cruising spots. Memorized phone numbers. Listened to the radio waiting for our song to come on. And somehow survived without GPS, Google, or anyone knowing where we were 24/7. 🤣 We really did grow up in two completely different worlds, and I think that’s why so many of us connected yesterday. Now tell me yours. What’s something only Generation Jones understands?

@accuweather The blue has some fantastic scenery, but the winters are brutal. I'll take the yellow states for beautiful scenery and great weather.

@Supersonic_Red I am Gen Jones and it has been one hell of a bumpy ride!!! I long for the stability of work and institutions that my parents had, but so much has evolved for the better as well.

There’s a generation a lot of people forget exists. We were born at the tail end of the Boomers, but we are not culturally the same as people born in the 40s and early 50s. We are Generation Jones. And honestly, it explains a lot. We grew up in a world that still felt fundamentally analog, but we were young enough to be dragged headfirst into the digital revolution. We are the bridge generation between rotary phones and smartphones, between slide rules and AI, between Walter Cronkite and algorithm driven media. We remember when there were only a few television channels and the entire country watched the same thing at the same time. We also adapted to the internet, email, forums, social media, streaming and now artificial intelligence. We lived before and after the technological singularity hit everyday life. That is not a small thing. People born in the 40s came of age in a post World War II America that was still industrial, deeply hierarchical and institutionally stable. Their formative years were shaped by the Cold War, Vietnam, the civil rights era and a society where information moved slowly. Generation Jones came later. We inherited the aftermath of all of that. We were the kids who watched Watergate destroy blind trust in government. We watched manufacturing begin to collapse. We saw divorce rates explode. We were the first truly latchkey generation in massive numbers. We learned independence early because many of us had to. We grew up with one foot in old America and one foot in whatever this new thing was becoming. We played outside until the streetlights came on but we also learned DOS commands. We learned cursive and keyboarding. We had card catalogs and Google searches. We went from vinyl records to cassette tapes to CDs to MP3s to streaming in one lifetime. We remember maps. We remember memorizing phone numbers. We remember life before GPS and before every human interaction became filtered through a screen. And because of that, I think Generation Jones developed a very unique perspective. We are adaptable because we had no choice but to adapt. We learned technology as adults instead of being born into it. We remember a slower world but were forced to survive in a rapidly accelerating one. That creates a very different mindset than either older Boomers or younger Gen X and Millennials. A lot of us also reject the caricature people now associate with “Boomers.” We were not buying houses for the cost of a sandwich in 1965. The interest rate on my first house was over 14% and that was after buying down a point. Many of us got hit by recessions, outsourcing, pension collapses and economic instability just like younger generations did. We watched promises evaporate in real time. We understand older generations because we were raised by them. We understand younger generations because we had to evolve alongside them. That’s why the Jones generation often feels culturally homeless. We are rarely discussed, rarely defined and usually lumped into categories that don’t actually fit us. But we exist. We are the human transition point between the industrial age and the digital age. And frankly, there will probably never be another generation quite like us again.

@chaneykyoto @AmeriqueJohnny @mynamehear GA's economy is pulled by Atlanta. NC wealth comes from Charlotte and the research triangle. The bigger cities carry the economic engines and support the middle class. Rural areas are developing at a slower pace and lack the information jobs to join the middle class.

The South is amazing. Imagine making absolutely zero progress in basically any area for 160 years. That's almost a talent.

@chaneykyoto @AmeriqueJohnny @mynamehear The south has always willing to accept a social hierarchy and is hostile to organized labor. Also, business is about connections and southerners follow their parents profession. I don't think racism is any more of a factor than it is in the Midwest or Rocky Mountain states.

@mapletone @WendellPierce @TheTNHoller Tell me how Democrats have black people "on the plantation." You think the majority blacks vote for Democrats so they can become dependent on "free stuff." This thinking is the very definition of racism.

@chaneykyoto @AmeriqueJohnny @mynamehear I think wealth inequality in the south is the key to understanding the low rankings in key metrics such as education, health, etc. The poor certainly get left behind. The south has progressed in the cities, but the low tax base in poor areas leads to poor outcomes.

@chaneykyoto @AmeriqueJohnny @mynamehear Public education in the south is primarily funded by local property taxes, resulting in extreme inequities between wealthier neighborhoods vs poor and urban vs rural. Southern colleges are competitive and offer quality education since they are funded by tuition and federal money.

@mynamehear The southern economy was destroyed during the war and became a supplier of raw materials (cotton, lumber, coal, iron) for Northern manufacturers. The collapse of the banking system resulted in northerners buying valuable southern land and industrial sites at low costs.
