Thanks, Gopher. That was a nice read. Things do look grim and a little optimism helps keep things in perspective.

America's younger workers losing ground on income
In the race to get ahead economically, America's young workers are falling behind.... Ms. Kamenetz's book: "Why now is a terrible time to be young." The book is partly a manifesto on generational politics, as she eyes the cost of baby boomers' retirement for her generation.

It's unfair, some economists say, to blame the baby boom generation, since the larger issue is that healthcare costs keep rising and people keep living longer in general. Rising healthcare costs are hitting younger workers in another way, too. As benefit costs rise, employers often have less left to boost wages.... Perhaps most significant, though, is a labor market that has become tougher on workers, especially those with lower skills. Global competition has compressed wage gains.

Yeah good read Gopher, I guess we sometimes forget that every dark cloud has a silver lining.

My Grandfather lost friends and his own health fighting the Germans. His Grandson who he never met, was friends with one since the age of seven.

We can't always say how the future will turn out, sometimes good, sometimes bad. But lets smile at the new dawn, not frown as we don't know that dusk will be any worse than what the dawn brought us.

Yup, that's just the sort of thing I used to write when I was 16.
