30 years since Raygun and once they dispose of workers over 40...
they'll have the Brave New World scenario all wrapped up. People under 40 don't even know the Ameerica we grew up in...it's been greed greed greed and mine mine mine CORPORATIONS = good/labor = bad/poor & elderly = fuckkem since Raygun.

Seems that everything our politicians do has a malevolent, anti-boomer twist. Putting 26 year old "children" on Mom or Dad's work-sponsored healthcare policy makes Mom/Dad Boomer an even MORE expensive, risky employee.

Boomers Unite. We're in serious trouble, here.

1. Actually, once the majority of Boomers pass on, the labor market
will probably be better. Perhaps all this "stuff" we are going through now was inevitable (and perhaps engineered), but they miscalculated how long we would all be around..

I do agree that the younger ones amongst us are not really used to being "free", and if you never had it, you don;t miss it, or even recognize when more is taken from you.

What really odd though is the blame-the-boomers mentality. Very FEW of us have ever really had much power, and most of us had every dime we made, accounted for on a payroll check. there were no loopholes for us.

Look at who made the rules for most of the decades we have been alive..not boomers..

2. Strike.
March.

Shut it down.

Scare the Ayn Rand out of the corporate warmongering fascist traitors.

3. I'm cautiously optimistic that we're heading that way.
