Agreed however there is a strong hatred of young people on FR.

The young are going to be the caretakers of this nation soon. Ever think that the older generation should be teaching the younger generation instead of despising and ignoring us?

Just a thought and this is not directed at you personally but rather FR in general.

Ever think that the older generation should be teaching the younger generation instead of despising and ignoring us?
That's such a strange thing to say. I'm part of that "older generation," and the parent of 4 members of the younger generation. I certainly don't despise or ignore them. And I sincerely doubt that I am alone that.

To Shark and Breckenridge — Step back and take some deep breaths! Of course the baby boomers appear to be taking up all the jobs. Bad thing is it is because of the condition of our economy that most of us olders are scared sh*tless and scrambling for ways to provide for our families. And as a boomer myself, I feel it is my demographic group that should shoulder most of the responsibility for our nation’s condition. The reason Congress decided to begin robbing the SS fund those many years ago is because there was so much darn money just sitting there! There were so many boomer workers filling up those coffers. Now, not so many (comparatively). Secondly, the nature of jobs has changed how many times in the past 40 years? Industrial, technological, financial.... you need to understand that it WILL be up to the YOUNGER generations to define how America will again gain her strength. The established system right now is corrupt. Lets stop trying to prop her back up. Lets begin to think about how to keep what we want from before and build it from there but with honesty and integrity. Believe me, the older generation will support EVERY SINGLE younger who has the heart to be the caretaker of this great nation. All of the comments here on this thread have the same message. Fear. Lets begin to think in a different frame of mind. Like one of invention and passion. The entire world is in a metamorphosis stage and will instantly begin to mold itself around positive energy. Perhaps your destiny lies in being one to cause great things to happen.

When most of “the young” can’t even change the oil in their own car or control their own obesity? Hah!

I observe what used to be skid row and the 5-points area of Denver.

It reminds me of Logan’s Run. A Socialist Utopia built for brain dead house bees.

The only thing being “taken care of” there is the bidness of the sterile oligarchs running the hive - until its collapse.
