I miss the good ole days when Boomer politicians didn't realize you could buy things on the internet (or that it even existed) and everything was without sales tax.

So, let's look at what actually happened. Boomer Bill Clinton signed the Internet Tax Freedom Act into law in 1998, prohibiting taxation of internet sales to support the growth of commerce on the internet (which itself was invented by Boomers and even older generations).

Much much later there were efforts to tax sales on the internet no matter where in the US, and for good reasons.

The Wayfair Decision in 2018

Seems like it was both enacted and neutered by Boomers and even older generations.

Concurring justices:

- Justice Anthony Kennedy - Silent Generation (born 1936)

- Justice Clarence Thomas - Baby Boomer Generation (born 1948)

- Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg - Silent Generation (born 1933)

- Justice Samuel Alito - Baby Boomer Generation (born 1950)

- Justice Neil Gorsuch - Generation X (born 1967)

Appointing presidents:

- Ronald Reagan (Justice Anthony Kennedy) - Greatest Generation (born 1911)

- George H. W. Bush (Justice Clarence Thomas) - Greatest Generation (born 1924)

- Bill Clinton (Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg) - Baby Boomer Generation (born 1946)

- George W. Bush (Justice Samuel Alito) - Baby Boomer Generation (born 1946)

- Donald Trump (Justice Neil Gorsuch) - Baby Boomer Generation (born 1946)

> Ronald Reagan (Justice Anthony Kennedy)

> George H. W. Bush (Justice Clarence Thomas)

> Bill Clinton (Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg)

What's up with repeating the word "Justice" so much? Shouldn't you be writing "President of the United States Ronald Reagan, Leader of the Free World (Justice Anthony Kennedy)", etc?
