To: the invisib1e hand

She’s 39. She has almost 30 more years before she reaches retirement age, if they don’t raise it by then. The Boomers will be gone long before then. She has the biggest problem for all Gen X’ers: a lack of patience. And worst of all, when she is 57 or so and refusing to move out to pasture for the younger workers because she needs things like food, shelter, and health care; she won’t remember her angst today about those people ahead of her refusing to die on her schedule.

Every generation has one ahead of them blocking the meteoric rise they think they deserve and one behind them wishing they’d die or go away.

Reminds me of the service ditty:
"Old soldiers never die,
The young ones wish they would."
