[quote=no_such_reality] . . . But maybe Boomers will eventually do some good, as they age, they’ll need care, and they’ll increasingly need to pay someone to change their Depends. The Millinials aren’t doing to deal with your sh*t for peanuts. :-)[/quote]
From my vantage point, if the Gen X and Y crowd (but mostly Gen Y/millenials) don’t start taking better care of themselves, their parent and grandparent “boomers” will outlive them, or, in the very least, have a much better quality of life than they do (at 30+ years older).
Some of you people need to put down your bag of Flamin’ Hot Cheetos and proceed straight to the nearest elliptical machine PRONTO:
Maybe some of them are “invisible” but I don’t see too many healthcare professionals/nurses post here. Perhaps it is because they are too busy running around on their feet for 8+ hrs per day getting all the overtime they can so they can avail themselves of of the max retirement acct “funds-matching” by their employers and generally making bank :=]
In my memory, nurses have NEVER just “worked for peanuts.” Even LVNs have always been paid well above min wage and RNs make a GOOD to GREAT professional salary.
Of course, someone sitting in a sterile windowless cubicle in an “master-planned office park” writing code? wouldn’t know this, firsthand.
NSR, time to clean out your bottom desk drawer, make a beeline for the trash can and give away all those “chip clips” if you have any designs at all on outliving or outrunning a typical “boomer.”
Keep in mind that we boomers only had 2-4 brands of bagged snacks to choose from when we were young, they were relatively expensive back then in comparison to wages, were not available in schools and also did not come in “snack sizes” unless one bought at least 12 at a time :=]
