As a Boomer who was outsourced in the early 80's during Reagan. Not a Boomer, from the Greatest Generation BTW. It was a fight then with little to show. Greed has no generational preferences. Also deregulation of my industry and wife's also ( Airline & Phone ) greatly effected our jobs, to the worse. Also by the previous generation's greed.
Then we had the 401K's take our legacy retirements also by the GG. The Dems have so far been able to save SS from those who want to privatize it.
Been fighting the environment fight since before the first Earth Day. Again stopped by mainly one party controlled by Coal, Big Oil and Gas.

My first home had adjustable mortgage and was up to 14% before was able to refinance to a fixed at 6%. Now if wages kept up with inflation like home values......

Good to know that you were able to get a fixed mortgage.

No thanks to the deregulators of the US banking industry on the phoney-ass libertarian Republican side of the aisle.

Oh. That's such a relief, to know only the first part applies to me, and you were 'just ranting.'

Overcome with guilt for throwing a Boomerang, I am going to get purple streaks in my hair as retribution. Hope it goes well with salt and pepper.
