Yellow, which received a pandemic loan, is winding down operations ahead of an expected bankruptcy filing. The closure of the company would mean the loss of about 30,000 jobs.
That’s boomer talk there. Always worried about everyone else rather than themselves.
Please don’t be Ageist. It’s not an age thing, it’s how you were raised thing.
Some of us “Boomers” (I’m actually first gen Gen-X but keep getting called a Boomer) actually do care about others, especially the generations coming up behind us, and want to strive for a win-win scenario for everyone.
It becomes an age thing when someone is talking shit about a younger generation not wanting to work or anything like that because as I said, back in their day a shit factory job was enough income to afford a house and two cars.
The “how you were raised” is a bunch of shit too. It’s who you decided to become.

But that’s not automatic based just on the biological timestamp of the people expressing the opinions. And not everyone in that classification agrees with each other.
Yes, different generations have different living conditions, but don’t say they’re wrong just because they are a Boomer (which is usually used to signal that they are automatically out of touch and should be ignored), you say its based on the times/society they lived in instead which formed their opinion, and not their physical age.
The “how you were raised” is a bunch of shit too. It’s who you decided to become.
And you decide who you want to become based on the society you live in at the point of time you’re growing up and living in it, as its society which forces the rules to live by.
As time goes by and newer generations show up over the decades, they revise the rules of society and then yes at that point you’re supposed to change with them (but only if you agree with them; free will is a bitch), but you also have a hard coded base of beliefs already and rules that you’ve lived your life by that you’ve learned from earlier days.
You can’t hand wave that away no matter how much you want to. People do get set in their ways based on the society time frame they grew up in, and not their biological timestamp. If you want to change their minds you have to understand that fact and work with it.
I’m not saying overall you’re wrong, older generations are supposed to update their belief systems to match the times they’re living in now. But to ignore the fact that humans don’t like change won’t solve any problems.
