[Cogadh na Sith]

The worst of it is that we are living shoulder-to-shoulder with what USA Today calls "the wealthiest generation in American history." The problem, if you could call it that, is that the people grabbing that wealth are typically over 55. Wealth for older families has actually doubled since 1989. For those 35 to 50, wealth has shrunk.

I guess everybody forgot about this part: And the Boomers aren't retiring anytime soon either.

Hey, I'm the Jr guy in the office and I'm 39!

There aren't any young engineers coming through the ranks so I'll probably never be in charge of anybody. I'll be the junior guy until I'm 60 and the boomers all drop dead. Then I'll be in charge with no one to be in charge of....

This deserves an Xer ping.

Of course it won't be a moment until some greedy geezer calls me a slacker for pointing this out....
