  • The were also the ones to pioneer what I think was called “JIT2” or something like that. Basically it was a “just in time” scenario where they only kept 2 hours worth of parts at the factory. They would literally have trucks of parts lined up in the parking lot to unload for that days build. It shaved a massive amount of debt off as they wouldn’t have to stockpile parts and could change much more rapidly. That’s probably what’s allowing them to pivot in this case.

    You completely missed my point. Generation is a valid grouping even if you don’t like it. Yes there are others that may work, some may be better, some may not. But it is still a unifying thread. Take Xellenials (micro-generation between X and Millenial), it’s described as an “analog childhood and digital adulthood” that is somewhat that pretty much everyone in that generation was subject to, so yeah it was a “similar enough lived [sic] experience to universalize them”.
