Millennials Painfully Aware of How Much Needs Fixing in Wake of "Most Selfish Generation"

24. By casting this as an intergenerational conflict . . .

. . . this article falls squarely into a trap laid by the 1%. I am 54, and thus fall into the tail end of the baby boom generation. I, too, was sold a bill of goods. I have never been able to amass any savings to speak of, and in one job after another watched as traditional pension benefits were eliminated in favor of the fraud of 401(k) plans. As for retirement, I don't anticipate being able to retire. (My only solace is that, as a diabetic, I probably won't have too many years beyond 65 to worry about.) Yes, millennials have some valid gripes, but so do millions of the rest of us. Rather than pointing fingers, millennials might think about making common cause with those of all generations who have been completely sold out by the 1%. Just sayin'.
