I've found great happiness lately in accepting that I'm just another dude with a job to pay the bills. How blissfully apathetic is that!?
Except it's not about a funny issue.

People my age are having to forgo things like the opportunity to have children. Their ability to have a career that affords things like basic housing gets pushed further and further back. And we aren't talking about lazy or troubled people. People who've done everything right and gotten specialized skills. Teachers, firemen, etc...who can't find permanent positions.

Baby boomers create a system that destroys people's lives through their own greed and then make light of it. Yeah great.
