I cancelled.

So why in the heck would AARP send some condescending youngster to conduct a meeting? I can't quite get a grip on that. (If she was afraid she would lose control of the “mob” she shouldn't have been the spoke person.)

Most of the people in the audience have probably seen more in their life than she ever will. Very disrespectful of the AARP puppy.

I think it is an example of the attitude of our current administration.

Reminds me of the line from Fried Green Tomatoes..

“I'm younger and faster.” (Young ladies steal a parking space from Kathy Bates)

“I'm older with more insurance.” (Bates as she destroys their car.)

It will be interesting to see who wins. Us geezers or the parking place thieves.

Companies hire young employees because they potentially can be longer term employees (fallacy is they change jobs more often), they can hire them cheaper, cheaper to insure and they are "mallable". The do not question the company policy decisions because they do not have a broad enough general background to understand where all the pieces are.

Like the Nazi Wunderkinder (Wonder Children) they can be brainwashed and be given great power which they will wield by policies given from the top and never questioned.

Am I disrespectful of bright youth? No. But too many young people today equate technical competence and knowledge with wisdom. All of life cannot be distilled to an equation. Technical competence without religious and philosophical mouring is a perscription for disaster.
