Guys Kamala is 60 and a career politician. I don’t think this is a given.

My HR manager is also 60 and routinely publishes the company newsletter as a .docx.

Nothing is a given in this life.

This is good or bad?

Using an easily editable format seems good. Microsoft though

A) Why would a newsletter need to be editable?

B) The vast majority of our staff access the newsletter via their phones, and will not care to install an app just so they can read it.

Yeah but the career politician part means that she hasn’t had a job since McDonald’s that didn’t come with at least half a dozen underpaid assistants, so it’s a fair assumption.

Also the new intern might not be able to do this either. There’s a surprisingly narrow age range where this skill set is expected

But will she enable the option to create bookmarks from word headings? Surely no one ready for that.

We’re fast approaching that golden age where every president comes standard with PDF creation skills.

I dunno, mobile devices aren’t “computers”, and Gen-X gets ignored so hard it’ll likely be skipped right over, and we’ll jump immediately into Idiocracy (it’s what plants crave).

Although I bet Pete Buttigieg knows how:-).

Harris’ birthdate is October 20th 1964, she’s pretty much Gen X, having had to deal with the 80s crap as a teenager/young adult, hell, 1965 is the first year for Gen X

Usually the cusp of Gen-X is 1965, so even she is Boomer/Gen-X
