How the ‘Silent Generation” will wear us down and eat our souls! by Jeff http://isthatwacked.com/?p=113&cpage=1#comment-63 Jeff Fri, 09 Apr 2010 18:46:07 +0000 http://isthatwacked.com/?p=113#comment-63 Thanks for comment, much appreciated. I was trying not to generalize but to express my opinion about what I have observed lately. The reality it the bitching is not limited to Seniors of course. There seems to be a general degradation in the delivery of common courtesy in today's society. I did make a mental note and I hope I follow through that I won't be a bitchy senior. Regarding technology, I do agree that their are techno-savvy seniors like yourself and there should be more; the reality is that the world I grew up in is gone too, and today's world vanishes everyday for my kids because nothing sticks anymore. That's why relationships and family are important. Looking forward to the "boomers" being nice..ha! Thanks for comment, much appreciated.

The world they grew up in has vanished, and many feel disoriented. It's dangerous to generalize, though. I know many "silent gen" folks who are fully engaged and techno-savvy. I wouldn't worry too much about boomers who will retire over the next 20 years. They're very different from the previous generation. Finally, take it from a geezer --- you'll be there soon enough.

Wow. You must be an employee or someone who is living off an employee of Goldman. Let me guess, you believe that Goldman is doing God's work. Idiot. RTYRER,

So Goldman is not "robbing the public". Just one tiny problem with your thesis: Stephen Mnuchin left Goldman eight years ago (try googling him). So Goldman is not “robbing the public”.
