[quote=Anonymous]Is OP trolling?

I’m 62 and early retired.  Many of my friends and similarly aged family members are already retired as well.  We raised our family in NOVA.  Not a single one of us is obese (not that it would matter to me, and how awful on you for fat shaming) and most of us enjoy excellent health.

When WE get together, we’re not on our phones.  WE don’t talk about work because we don’t have to.  WE talk about family.  WE only talk about politics to say how crazy Americans are for electing Trump.

Should I go on?

I’ve been to a Europe many times.  Been all over the world many times, in fact.  People are the same everywhere.  It’s a class thing and a generational thing.  Try having a dinner party for the younger generation of Europeans and I guarantee you the conversations will be different.  They’re very, very worried that their countries won’t be able to afford the same social welfare and health care systems that are making things so (allegedly) good for their parents right now.
