Rampant discrimination against older people, especially women is crazy and something you don’t fully notice until you or your peers are affected directly.
I hear old people talk about this, but then they run every government and large business, have most of the money, and get like the majority of government services as well.
Yes. Obviously, there’s a whole lot of other axes at play here. What “race” and gender they are, how rich and powerful their parents were, if they had a career in computing or slide rule sales…
Just taken as a lump group, and compared to younger lump groups, though, there’s no contest.
Sure, maybe. I guess until it’s us young people’s turn, it’ll be hard to know how much is real, and how much is directionless crankyness or early dementia.
And FWIW there’s dumber things to build a hierarchy around. The very young understand little.

Some of the older people do that. Others are 85-year-old wal-mart greeters.

That’s why country clubs and those 55+ walled suburban enclaves are a thing, I guess lol.
