While at a certain level I can't help but agree with you, I think some self-reflection is in order. It is perfectly legal to discriminate against young people

It is perfectly legal to discriminate against young people but not against older folks. Those laws were put into place by that generation you reference.
Not to mention that the likely reason to target younger employees is because they can be paid less for the same job. That is a manifestation of the ongoing depowering of labor and individual laborers that was again driven by...that generation.
Sometimes, a group reaps what they sow.

- Clubber 9y agoHey man, 40 is young!
- pkaye 9y agoI believe age discrimination laws are only applicable to those who are 40 years and older.
