Sage advice. One year older than you. The amount of suffering the older generation endured is vastly worse than this current pandemic. Many joined the military and spent years overseas with people actively trying to kill them every day, came back and built the greatest nation on earth. The dust bowl survivors didn’t get stimulus checks. We all need to toughen the hell up and take care of our families and our neighbors. I saw a doctor balling on TV the other day because he hadn’t seen his family in 3 weeks. Just not the look a person in that kind of authority should be giving the public. Do you think you would have seen army MD’s doing that outside of a field hospital? Use this time to stiffen that upper lip and remember the strength of our forefathers. Stay safe, protect your family and neighbors and may God bless you all.

Tell us how you've gotten a raw deal.

I was born in 1960 to parents who were born in 1916 and 1918.
I am the youngest of 8 children and only 4 surviving.
My parents were born and raised in the south POOR, UNEDUCATED and HARD WORKING.
As a child I remember listening the OLD folks getting together for family functions and reminiscing of their younger years. Depressions, Diseases, Wars, working dawn til dusk and never complaining during those conversations.
Many times with heartfelt laughter.
You've appropriated your parents hardships as your own, but your generation (Boomers) came up during the most prosperous and economically mobile time in American history.
So yea, OK BOOMER.

Terrible (and rapidly worsening) public schools

it's not hard to see this country has a bleak future

Millennials already had to sacrifice through the Great Recession. I see you failed to mention that, oh that's right you already had a cush job and wasn't coming straight out of college with a 12% unemployment rate.

And back to back to back recessions.

What metrics do you use to decide the 70s were the most prosperous and mobile time?

We've kept rates so artificially low for so long that we have an entire generation that knows nothing else as adults.
Obviously 21% isn't a historical norm either but I think we'll have another recession if mortgages go back to 6-7% and auto loans to 7-9%.

What do you mean by demographics?
Bad public schools might depend on what part of the country you are in. There have been worse public school systems in the 1980s and before that have become much better.
Two parent incomes became the norm forty years ago.

If you were born in 1960' you're starting your career at a time of stagflation and high unemployment. There were no jobs and there was no way to afford a hous with 15% mortgage rates.
I'm a bit younger but having roommates was very common and you took whatever job you could get. There wasn't long term parental support or government handouts, you hustled.
And that's not a bad thing. The cynicism and individuality conceived in that period was a positive, even though the economy sucked.
Most of us who came of age in the latter part of the 70s/early 80s have been through all of these recessions, and I feel stronger for it. Not weaker. Hustling and scratching has a long term payoff imo.
