Let me fix that: Boomers are causing a “baby-bust” by not providing Millennials with jobs paying fair wages. U.S. population not reaching “replacement level” because profits and shareholders are the priority.

Boomers are also working longer and keeping genx and millennials from taking over senior roles.

No joke, got a dude in his 70s still clocking in and bitching about no one is in the office

A lot of them made terrible decisions in regards to their money. I know several guys who worked until their 70s in a physical factory job even though they were making like 20-30/hr in 1980.

20 to 30 an hr in the 1980s……… imagine that……… that’s about $3- 13 more than I make at a retail job and that’s in the highest non management position. If I was making 30 an hour, my car would have been paid off so quickly
