In reply to the discussion: The thing about older people [View all]Mr.Bee
(274 posts)I find we are the ones the young people should be listening to, rather than 'Okay Boomer'.
We are the ones who have lived the history not being taught because of cuts to education.
We are the ones who grew up with JFK and the threat of being drafted into the Vietnam war.
We lived through Nixon, the sexual revolution, Earth Days, Reagan, Bush...
We have all the real life experience that we can tell young people when they go off on how things were, we can tell them 'It didn't happen that way at all'.
Next time you talk to a young person, be it a friend, coworker or relative, set them straight, and tell them.
Tell them you remember how the country was when we had a 91% top tax rate, jobs were plentiful, and billionaires didn't own everything.
Including our government.
