Boomers are very quick to congratulate themselves on being rugged go-getters, paragons of the society. Of course, then there's their political record to consider. Do we have universal healthcare? No. Well, the Boomers argued against it for decades. "Who's going to pay for it?? " The same people who are going to pay for Iraq and Afghanistan. Never mind that universal healthcare (which the whole developed world enjoys) would save us money. But, I digress.
According to the CNN article:
Last month, there were 3.6 million more Americans who had left the labor force and said they didn't want a job compared with November 2019. A whopping 90% of them were over 55.
So, the data are saying something else. And it usually does. Data are funny that way.
