In truth, for every Boomer who was a Yuppie and did well, there are numerous Blue Collar ones who got screwed starting in the late 80s and early 90s when the obsession with cost reduction and outsourcing kicked in. Lots of Boomers don't have a pot to pee in as they retire / burn out / get pushed out of the work force.
That is me although I am trying to get by as best I can on Social Security. I was blessed with a condition which today is commonly referred to as Asperger's Syndrome, a condition largely characterized by social awkwardness. In a work environment where office politics and political correctness trump reason, one with AS seems to have two strikes on him/her before even getting to the plate. Some of the stories about combating the condition should be saved for late October as part of Halloween ghost stories. We are probably the last to gain parity which has now been afforded people of color and more recently gays and transgendered.
