(32,017 posts)I hope you noted the banner at the bottom of my posts. I agree that the 1% is the problem, and that's why I am encouraging Elizabeth Warren to run for President. We need change, and we need it fast.
I am an Xer, not a Millennial. In many ways, there's still hope for the Millennials and the generation that follows them, but hope is rapidly dwindling for Generation X. Many of us are in our 40s now, and we're still struggling. If we can't get a decent, good-paying job very soon that we can hold for ten or more years (so that we actually get something decent out of Social Security), we're done for. Many of us can't even buy used cars for our teen-aged children. The idea of putting them through college is enough to keep many of us up at night. If we were still young, there might be more hope. But we're not ... we're middle-aged and broke.
I still feel that many Boomers just don't get it.
