Baby Boomers' Luck Is Running Out

2. That article paints an absurdly rosy picture

of Boomer years. It overlooks Vietnam and the heartache of that, the struggle for those gains for women, the fact that the 70s and early 80s were just shit for a lot of women, with old attitudes still hanging on in the work place, the fact that at least in my era (later Boomer), our generation was so big because the previous generation bred their brains out, that it was in fact a fight to get a well paying job. GenX olde fartes also reaped the same benefits, BTW. AND, many of us paid into the system for 50 years or so, it wasn't just 'given' to us.

Yes, there were many good things, affordable college being a big one, but let's be real - the past always looks great if people keep those rose-coloured glasses on.

Let's look to the future, instead.
