"modern barbarians" ...

Thanks for the tidbit.

On another note: Gen X, Y and Z are going to take a beating when the boomers retire.

For a preview of this, we can look at Japan. Japanese used to revere their elders. Now they are viewed as a drag on the society and economy. And their long-term projections are worse than ours.

This Gen X-er has no intention of taking a beating, even if it means breaking the law or moving assets out of the country.

Ironically, the Boomers have left quite a legacy of pragmatic nihilism. When all is said and done, their own children will avoid "taking a beating" by euthanizing their parents.

Not if we euthanize them. Facts: They stop working, they are no longer productive, no point in keeping them alive. Bye bye!
