Baby boomers can’t expect retirement.
The good news is that I see this shitty market hiring 76 year olds over young upstarts.

Baby boomers are not the problem, we are the solution.
I feel awful for the young upstarts but their it is..

We funded our parents an grandparents retirement as well as our great grandparents.

It was crappy when We started out, and I expect young upstarts will do fine when I am in the ground.

My Father told me way back when “Nobody owes you a living”

The ratio could support the ponzi scheme at the time. It's getting perilously close to collapse now.

...and The Space Race, a half-dozen wars, the 'Great Society' and generations of the fattest, most pampered poor people on the planet.

But the chickens coming home to roost are the 50,000,000 Americans who aren't here, who never got a shot at anything, because they were removed from the economy before they were born.

Had abortion on demand not become a reality, the numbers would be different.

More good news (for men) - "Not surprisingly, there will be far more women than men in the 65+ population.". That is, if baby boomer men can remember what sex is, and if it doesn't kill them.
