Actually this is good news for baby boomers. We may be old but we know how to work.
That’s exactly right. If some of us (and I mean those of us who swept floors, put up hay, detassled corn, and did whatever other crap jobs we could get hired to do for a buck-twentyfive an hour back in the 60s) were to apply for these jobs, the employers would kiss us on both cheeks if not for sexual harassment laws. What we learned as expected behavior at work like showing up on time, having a proper appearance, paying attention and following directions, etc. are lacking or absent in far too many applicants today.
CNN can drone on about it til the cows come home but China is not the reason we have an entitlement culture and generational dependency on government support, especially in the black and urban population. That is OUR fault, we elected the people who did it and we failed to throw them out when the social engineering programs failed.
Outsourcing has nothing to do with the issue raised in this article. Nothing.
I am a baby boomer that knows how to work, but I disagree with this as good news. If the country goes to hell (with one of the reasons no one wants or can work), then my IRA and social security will dwindle to nothing and us baby boomers will be working into our 80’s.
My Edward Jones financial advisory went on a rant saying the younger generations will not put up with having to support us via social security. She’s a lefty that would accept no counter argument. But she’s right, using lefty logic social security will be defunded by the same bunch of losers now entering the workforce when they assume positions of power.
