What's with all the Ageism in These Threads??

70. That's one good thing, in about ten years (if we last that long)

A large section of the WASP boomers will mostly be retired. I came in on the tail end of it (58yrs) and found many things already filled up and taken over. You also have to understand that it's just as unfair to blame one person for societies ills as it is a whole group (and probably doesn't make any progress on solving things either way).

It's the way our corporate babysitters who have trained us while mom was sent to her new position as working mom. For fifty years the boob tube was the pacifier and our brains were filled with empty ideas on how "STUFF" was good for us. It was a bad experiment that took our nation from the top in our societies well being down to near the bottom when compared to rest of the industrialized nations.

I don't think most of those older boomers will step back much, they are still mostly convinced they are correct and others should step aside till they get their thing done (whatever their thing is)
