You didn’t need to tell us your were Gen x… You guys are a hip replacement away from being boomers.

A genx with a hip replacement will still be a genx, but with now less hip pains. Do you think… Hips somehow… Relate to age?
Is this a “count the rings thing” taught to genz now? Is Shakira some sort of prophet for you guys, because of “hips don’t lie”?
