When the Boomers couldn’t retire because they are financially illiterate.

It ain't like people were doing a good job of planning for retirement before. Hell, SS was created because people had sucked so bad at it that they were starving. That's just a common problem in all societies.
But, while it may sound macabre, the reason for more old people in the work force now is that they're 1)Alive and 2)more likely to be functional than 50 years ago

Most older people aren't retiring because they like what they do, they'll cut hours but not retire.
We live longer, people work longer. Millennials are just going to have to be grown ups about it.

Let the millienials opt out of Social Security and the humor would start. Can’t mess with the entitlements though.

I always enjoy millenial v. boomer threads. Like all generations before them, Baby Boomers think upcoming generations are the worst, while they idolize their parents' generation.
Let's assume millenials really are the worst. I suppose boomers think it is because they don't share the same values/world view as boomers. That things are changing in a negative way.
Have boomers stopped to think about who instilled values in millenials? About what generation their parents hail from? Millenials are 36 years old on the high end. Did they create the current culture that boomers (who are largely in control) hate?

AND, I supported GWBs modest proposal to do it for part of SS.
If you don't have it now, you can look at the people who millennials primarily vote for to blame.

Means test that shite and phase it out
SS is typical of government social programs

But, absolutely phase that shite out because it's a crappy deal and millennials are correct to want it gone.
Alas, they need to convince their favorite party of that.

I'm glad you admit it. Now, did Boomers achieve their "success" on their own? Did they come out of the womb by pulling themselves up by their own bootstraps?
If you think millenials are bad, blame Boomers. They apparently believe they learned values, independence and the right way of doing things from their parents, and then failed to pass it on to their children.

Millennials have every right to point and that they were raised with a fricked up parenting paradigm and would be correct if they did............
Alas, millennials need to FIRST acknowledge the paradigm was bad. Instead, they want to repeat it and in fact, ARE repeating it.
Learn from your predecessor's mistakes. Don't double down on it!!

Really not true. As you get older, you find your niche
You folks have a lot to look forward to. Less work, working remotely, more free time, live longer and healthier, fewer responsibilities, more automation, etc
You're welcome.
