Zoomers Punk Boomers

I admit it.

Sometimes I just post something because I thought of a cute title. While this could be about almost anything, it is about the humongous rally in Tulsa, Oklahoma. Turns out it wasn't very big at all. The younger folks registered for free tickets with no intent of going at all. That surprised the older folks who were putting on this gig. While the older folks said there would be one million people, estimates say there were around 6,200 people in the BOK Center for the rally.

Ooohhh. Disappointing.

But even if there was some zoomer punking going on, does that explain everything about the poor turnout? Maybe not. Consider this. You are a person. You sign up for a ticket or two. You hear that the BOK Center has 19,199 seats and you hear that one million people have tickets.

You realize that your ticket means nothing. The chances of you getting into BOK Center are pretty slim.Why spend all that time and money traveling to Tulsa only to stand around in the street - blocks away from the event venue?

How many other people wondered and then realized the same thing?

So, basically anyone and everyone can get tickets but no one can get in. Okay, a few special chosen ones who left behind their job and house and came days early to camp out on a sidewalk manage to get in. I can see that scenario having a sort of domino effect. Anyone and everyone gets tickets and lots of boomers decide it is not worth the trouble of going.

Maybe if the planners had a larger venue and stopped giving out tickets when the place was full, then they could fill up a stadium or music house or convention center.

Now we have to wonder if that main boomer ended up punking all the other boomers. And the zoomers get the last laugh.
