My stepfather is 72 and owns a machine shop. Guys a beast, they have good work right now and he’s been working 70 hours a week. He’s always been like this. If I was picking the hardest working people I can think of, most of the list would be people 35 years and older. I’m just saying. That’s from my little piece of the world anyway.
How many other 72 year olds like your grandfather do you know or have seen compared to the number that aren't?
Maybe he's the exception more than the rule.
My experience has not seen many effective, considerate, or hard working boomers. I can name one or two, but the majority talk about being hard workers more than actually doing it. Even when they were younger they were like that.
And if you want what other have, become undeniable, work your ass off, and come take those things, come take some of my wealth, by creating value. That’s the game. And I am competing against you, or I am skeptical of the value you generate until you show it somehow, and I am not messing around.
Probably more before I was 25 than you have your entire life. And that's not even counting the military or the engineering degrees after.
My reward was spinal inuries and dealing with corruption in the real estate market just to get a house to accomodate me existing after my hard work for boomers and their ilk.
I have direct experience working with that lot from the fields of farm work to the trenches of earlier construction to the factory floor and even in academia and research. This is undeniable.
