It means the Wall St Urinals “Chief economics commentator” Greg Ip, who wrote this article, seems to be intentionally stirring up class warfare in these here United States.

Agreed. And IMHO, it means the paper is trying to play to a younger generation to build up a new market as their older readers age out. And when it comes to money news, few things get young people's attention more than blaming older folks. It's not that worthless degree keeping you from getting paid well, it's that old geezer who refuses to retire. It's not restrictive housing policies lowering supply that puts home prices out of reach, it's those old people living the entitled life in the homes you want.

“””And IMHO, it means the paper is trying to play to a younger generation to build up a new market as their older readers age out.”””


I was an avid reader/subscriber of the WSJ from 1970 to 1995.

I did not age out. No, I saw the WSJ no longer had any good reporters on their staff.

And since 1995 the WSJ has only gotten worse.
