A growing number of Generation Z adults are expressing more favorable views toward socialism than previous generations. Analysts point to rising housing costs, student debt, income inequality, and declining trust in institutions as factors shaping these attitudes, while critics argue many younger Americans have limited exposure to the historical outcomes of socialist economic systems. ----- HUH? Forgetting, is it more than Alzheimer’s or Dementia? Occasional forgetfulness is often a normal part of aging rather than a sign of dementia. Health experts note that misplacing keys, temporarily forgetting names, or walking into a room and forgetting why are common memory lapses. Persistent confusion, difficulty performing familiar tasks, or significant personality changes are more concerning symptoms that warrant medical evaluation. ------- SHOW CREDITS: Thank you to my co-host, Ken Madden of MaddK Studio Audio credits and Producer Jason Radosevich Horrible Designs Cast: Kate the Duchess of NJ and John Jamingo of the Boomer Bunker Aaron of I had to Say it Boomer Bob of the Boomer Bob Show Supporters: Steve McShane of the Razor Wire News Josh Roberts from New Hampshire and you can always leave a comment by email: bruce@weatherdsoul.com
