I see a worrisome trend. On one hand, many of my proto-boomer friends are suffering from age-ism , and memes claim that over-50-year-olds are unemployable. Not 100% fidelity, but there's some truth.
Then I hear about a lot of youngsters struggling to find work, and see articles like this.
Well, who's left? Is there a sweet spot at like 31 that are just cleaning up?
- aksss 1y agobeside the point, but over 50 = proto-boomer? You mean para-boomer, maybe? Gen X is <=60, I believe, so you referring to the cusp boomer/genx I think..
- Ancalagon 1y agogenx is now proto-boomer
- nateglims 1y agoProto as a prefix means it's first or at least before.
- aksss 1y agoI do not think that word means what you think it means. Proto boomer would be pre-boomer or at least the very early boomer, and chronologically that makes zero sense. Understand what you're trying to say though -- Quasi, Para, Pseudo, Demi would each be more appropriate prefixes. A Demiboomer could be in the Monster Manual.
- tonymet 1y agoboomer-adjacent seemed like a mouthful
