I don't drink soda, but if I did, I would probably try that.
Not having ADHD today, is no guarantee that you can concentrate on anything since there are distractions everywhere. Makes me wonder if some people have been misdiagnosed. Maybe it's BBDD Bombardment By Distractions Disorder.

Because we, I think, folks in our age bracket have direct or once removed experience with 1970. It must be the same feeling for each generation as it ages. It's being able to look back in memory upon years gone past that make them seem not as remote.

(COMMENT: BOEING SHARE PRICES HAVE BEEN GREAT THAT LAST 4-5 YEARS, SO NO COMPLAINTS FROM ME ABOUT THEM. TRUST MIGHT BE DOWN, BUT INVESTORS ARE NOT)
Boeing’s problems are snowballing: After a panel blowout at the start of the year, the aircraft manufacturer has experienced a trail of safety issues, including loose bolts, an engine fire, a tire falling off one of their jets and a technical problem which led to a sudden loss of altitude midair and injured at least 50 passengers. In the same week as several of the incidents, Boeing whistleblower, John Barnett, 62, who had been in the process of giving evidence in a lawsuit against the company, was found dead from a “self-inflicted” wound in a South Carolina car park, according to the Charleston County coroner's office.
Against a backdrop of questions over what’s going on with Boeing, Morning Consult carried out a survey on how public trust in the aircraft giant has changed with the new developments.
It found that between Q4 of last year and January 1-February 28 of 2024, net trust had dipped among respondents by 14 percentage points. Net trust is defined as the share of respondents who trust a brand minus the share who distrust a brand.
As the following chart shows, the biggest change was among business travelers, with a 26 percentage point difference between the two survey waves. According to the online polling company, this is partly due to business flyers having historically had more trust in Boeing than other groups, which means there was more room to fall.
Nicki Zink, an analyst at Morning Consult, adds that while Boeing’s reputation has dipped, this has not spread to the wider airline industry and that net trust in airlines has even seen an uptick as the spring break season approaches.

A self inflicted gunshot wound. In the interests of what's going on with Boeing, that needs to be examined.

Credit where it is due, I reckon.
A surprising number of my coworkers who are in their 20s and 30s listen to 60s, 70s and 80s rock. Personally, I listen to music from as far back 1917, the oldest recordings that I am aware of.

I wonder if it has to do with the wide availability of recordings and the mass distribution of that media. You can listen to your favorite songs over and over again, and then your kids do, and they get influenced by that and so on.
The flavor is a decade or two behind the 70's, but there is a definite interest in the music style of the past.

Well, The Sting briefly revived Ragtime a bit later, a first decade phenom'.
Remember Eubie Blake appearing often on The Tonight show.
