Today we have an absolute first for the site. “A cash money giveaway?” No. “A drawing to win a trip to the Bahamas?” Not quite. “A dollar off coupon at Arby’s?” Woah, woah, woah, my last name’s not Rockefeller over here. No, today is the very first time I have ever posted/linked to something I haven’t written myself. Now I don’t plan to make a habit out of this–I’ve gotten lazy enough about updating and advertising the site–but this is the first time I’ve ever had an idea for a story (the Occupy Wall Street Age divide) and stumbled upon someone else saying everything I could.
So, without further filler paragraphs…here is the link to a great, insightful article about baby boomers (whom the author calls The Clueless Generation) not fully understanding the protests or the economic reality for the generation just graduating college. http://www.thedailybeast.com/articles/2011/10/15/occupy-wall-street-why-baby-boomers-don-t-understand-the-protests.html If the link doesn’t work for whatever reason, the article is at The Daily Beast and titled “Why Baby Boomers Don’t Understand the Protests.”
