[quote=Anonymous]Wow, a lot of vitriol on this thread.  There should be a warning for folks with high blood pressure....

Depending on the whims of the demographic analyst, I am either the youngest boomer or the oldest Gen Xer aka the Jones Generation.  Sadly, nearly all folks on this thread are unable to see the "gray" of the situation and, moreover, let the real seniors (68+ aka "the Greatest Generation") off the hook (plenty of blame to pass around here).  There are boomers who are clueless, Gen Xers who are spoilt, and seniors who don't give a damn.  But there are also folks in all of those cohorts who are truly struggling to get by.  Just because one's ILs worked for the feds and made bank, does not mean that [i]all[/i] boomers and seniors glide between NoVA and SoFlo every six months with nary a care.  And for every Gen Xer (and Yer and millenial) with every gadget, there are others with modest cellphones counting their texts, etc as they cannot afford smart phones with unlimited plans due to college loans, childcare costs, etc.

We have a dysfunctional political system where the folks paying the piper call the tunes.  Gen X, Y, and millenial, you need to get in the street and show up on election day if you want change.  Boomers and seniors, you need to share in the pain.

And folks, stop kvetching back and forth about old-fashioned or immature.  Neither accurate nor becoming.  [/quote]
