Hey I'm 43 (and consider myself a member of Gen X, not a Boomer) and it's right on the money for me, too. I think the people who see in it "barf alert" material demand blind loyalty to the political parties, churches, and employers because they grew up in an era when such larger entities would take care of you in return for unthinking devotion and they just don't understand how profoundly the world has changed.
Everybody is an independent contractor now - in every facet of American life. ;)
Right on the money. I've been explaining that to my wife lately, making her see the bigger picture.
