For my fellow Boomers - do you remember 1975-1976 - and the hype of the Bi-Centennial?

Anybody else kind of surprised how little hype there is for the 250th anniversary?

Oh don't get me wrong -we went nuts with red/white/blue advertising and it was actually as commercial as Christmas has become.

Just a little curious why the difference.

Whatcha think?

Not everyone is as proud of the US as then.

A lot of the excitement around the bicentennial was marketing.

@Crazywaterspring And marketers NEVER miss an opportunity - I wonder if the political scene is so polluted now they just took a hard pass?
