Brief Golden Age?
I read of a conversation between photographer, David Bailey (82) & Spanish fashion designer and founder of the eponymous high-end shoe brand, Manolo Blahnik (78), it goes;
' Blahnik: So sometimes I just have to sit down and say: 'God, did all this happen?' All the excitement, it doesn't exist anymore, maybe because I'm old.
Bailey: It's not because you're old. It doesn't exist. '
Perhaps you have to be of a certain age to know what they were talking about, but looking around at the status quo, I do, - do you?

i know what they mean. The Richest kids of all time monetarily are the poorest in what's been done to them. Most are neurotic before they are 10 about things that i didn't even realise where things.

i have things to do now so ill just say this: the reason young people are miffed today is because their prospects at their current age are worse than those of the generation that came before them. It is very easy to sneer - and sneering is the default attitude of the unthinking elderly - but if you were young in this day and age you would probably not feel much magic in the air either. Young people look at the amazing opportunities the last generation profited from and all they want are the same opportunities: affordable housing, a good jobs market, and growth in earnings over time.
"and those that work just as hard will get those rewards."
No they wont. That's the point. Hard work today is not rewarded like it was in the old days do some research on wage growth in the UK vs rising living costs. its not a pretty picture and it hits the young much harder because most of them cant get on the property ladder. i understand though that most old people would rather deny this problem and pretend it does not exist.
Must go now!
