“It’s prettty good now for old geezers too.”

A large unspoken thing.

A great many of the jobs that DID open under Obama were filled by those over 40.

Many critical jobs are now held by OK Boomers, who have yuge levels of experience and skill, and capable younger replacements for them are few and far between. Hence Trump’s push for trade schools and apprenticeships — those aren not college/university-taught skills.

OK Boomers with needed skills can work as long as they desire, often for great pay. Can you say COBOL?

many community colleges are free or almost free, very low cost.... and many of them have lots of classes that can lead to some pretty good paying jobs

Senior year in every high school in this country should be vocational training.
