My parents are a couple of years older. I am a late Boomer (or a "Generation Jones" according to some), and I have been out of work for some time. After I got laid off, I survived on temp jobs and contract work. Those have all dried up. I want nothing more than to have a job. But, I'm "too old" for many of the small handful of decent jobs out there, and "over-qualified" for all of the crap jobs that are available. It's far more likely that I'll die of some stress-related illness before I "get a job" at this point, no thanks to these self-centered assholes. Also no thanks to the useless sack of shit who is my governor, who refuses to participate in the ACA, letting me and others like me fall through the cracks. These are the same idiots who elected her, BTW.
