Those were the days, my friends

Early X-er here (1966)..Interesting to reflect back on all the tv shows. Anyways, all this generation talk made me think of a piece I read years ago, and I can't remember if I mentioned it on here before or not? ..Basically, it called Gen -X "Gen screwed"..There were a lot of boomers, so they sewn up all the well paying "job for life" positions...Now these positions are becoming vacant because of retiring boomers, and they are now being given to millenials because Gen xers are "too old" and don't fit into their youth movement recruiting process. Heck, I remember a time when to saay get a city job as a garbage collector, let alone a trade position you had to know someone..This would of been when the boomers were established and far from retirement..How about the silent generation?. How come you never hear from them? (pun intended)..Both my folks were part of that gen, but at the cusp (few years shy)of technically being boomers.
