My wife mentioned an article to me (Wall Street Journal or New York Times) that set forth the proposition that the best time to be born in modern American history was during World War II. Those people came of age in the post-war boom while wages were high and prices were low and employers were offering pensions. They also enjoyed a couple of decades of work before wage stagnation hit in the 1980s.

I want to do my own research on this, but I found it interesting.

Yeah, that's interesting. I have no ill will towards Baby Boomers in general, but I do towards those who were/are the most powerful and wealthy. They made sure to get theirs, then did their best to slam the door shut behind them.
