The article explains that governors Gavin Newsom (D-CA) and Phil Murphy (D-NJ) and senators Bernie Sanders (I-VT) and Amy Klobuchar (D-MN) are all preparing to run in the event Biden “bows out.” 4:10pm- On Thursday, Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg visited East Palestine, Ohio—weeks after the area experienced a catastrophic train derailment that resulted in the release of toxic chemicals.

He writes: “disruption of the supply of energy imports from Russia is supposed to have highlighted the necessity of developing wind and solar (and now hydrogen) as a local alternative. Except that these energy sources are more costly and less stable than fossil-fuel or nuclear workhorses. They are worse for the environment once one considers the mess made while mining and refining the rare-earth minerals that go into renewable tech. And since China controls much of the global supply chain for those minerals, green energy merely replicates in Asia the form of energy dependence Europe now loudly bemoans regarding Russia.” Read the full article at: https://www.wsj.com/articles/awakened-by-ukraine-europe-wont-get-out-of-bed-energy-secuirty-russia-invasion-war-renewables-oil-1601cb50?mod=hp_opin_pos_6#cxrecs_s 5:05pm- Jimmy Failla—stand-up comedian & Fox News Radio host—joins The Rich Zeoli Show to discuss his up-coming opportunity to guest-host “Gutfeld!” on Fox News.

Rationally Speaking returns from hiatus with a look at a clash between two generations: Millennials, and their parents' generation, the Baby Boomers. Faced with stagnant wages and rising costs of education, rent, and health care, Millennials have a tougher path to economic security than Boomers did. And a growing number of millennial writers argue that their situation is the result of misguided and irresponsible policy choices made by the Boomers themselves. Are they right? Are Boomers to blame for Millennials' current economic struggles? To answer this question, Julia gets three different perspectives: Jill Filipovic, author of OK Boomer, Let's Talk: How My Generation Got Left Behind, Joseph C. Sternberg, author of The Theft of a Decade: How the Baby Boomers Stole Millennials' Economic Future, and Patrick Fisher, author of Demographic Gaps in American Political Behavior.

Joseph C. Sternberg's book The Theft of a Decade: How the Baby Boomers Stole the Millennials’ Economic Future (PublicAffairs, 2019) is an analysis of the economic condition of the Millennial generation, which was as cohort of people born between 1981 and 1996. This generation has experienced much trauma in the last decade, especially as a result of the Great Recession of 2008. Sternberg reviews the economic health of this generation, covering issues such as home ownership rates, higher education, employment prospects, and consumption patterns. He finds that although Millennials have many choices that make them the envy of much of the rest of the world, in the American context this generation suffers from bleaker prospects for wealth accumulation and security than any prior generation since the end of World War II. Sternberg reviews the intentional and unintentional consequences of public policies supported by the Baby Boomer generation, such as investment, monetary, and housing policies at the national level. He also reviews the lessons Europe and Japan have for how to respond to the political and economic problems presented by the demographic changes occurring as the Baby Boomers retire. Ian J. Drake is an Associate Professor of Political Science and Law at Montclair State University. His scholarly interests include American legal and constitutional history and political theory.
