    In the 80s we were already on this path to severe underpayment. He was being fucked by the system already, it just wasn’t as obviously destructive so he took it with the lube they provided and said thank you. Now they can’t admit that’s what happened because they would have to admit were/are idiots getting willingly fucked by the business.

      Baby Boomers really struggle to accept their enormous share of how we got to this place.

      Invariably it’s some Millennial’s fault. And by Millennial, I mean anyone who looks under 40.
