George Orwell would have be proud of you. Respinning a discussion based on objective facts into pearl clutching outrage. Bravo ..
The temporary diversion of the relative disparity of the Baby Boomer generation's wealth & advantage was never about the individual. To make it one, as some have tried to so, is disingenuous. Discussions of trends on a macro scale can never be defined by individual case studies.
