Putting aside starting your own business, good luck getting into current jobs if you are older. Not only is there age discrimination, but the shady part of that is also they realize they can hire and burn out and then fire the young gullible ones more easily than a sharp and critical older person

Very true unfortunately.

Plus I overhear quite often the 20-30yo crowd express frustration amongst themselves there are too many white guys from yesteryear left over. We must change the demographics!

"Not only is there age discrimination,..."

If you're older and wiser, you can get yourself canceled by consistently and noticeably outperforming the younger ones. They would prefer it if you were to dumb yourself down for them. In some cases, I think they assume that to be an entitlement. Sorry kids, but the future belongs to everyone.
