Reply #40: "...30 year paid vacation..." [View All]

The "Greatest Generation" lucked out.. They were in the right place at the right time.. They unfortunately had to fight a nasty war, but the ones who survived, cashed in quite nicely..their ascendency into adulthood meshed with free college, cheap houses, cheap gas, union jobs, pensions, social security flush with their children's money, just as they retired...and at the very time lots of them started getting sick, modern medicine "managed" their aliments to insure a cushy old age.. Most of them are gone now, but they had a good long run of it,..and the "blame" for their good fortune will be spun as "greed" by their children when it's our turn :grr:
