Globalization: The death of the Baby Boomers!

 What's really killing middle-aged whites?

I started to comment on the above article and realized I needed to write more about this in deference to and in honor of my generation of Baby Boomers. I can't just let this slide.

What is really causing the death of Middle Aged White people is Globalization. And what is Globalization?

Globalization is basically caused by business conducted over the Internet worldwide. Unions couldn't protect my generation from that. The Nation did not protect my generation from the closing of 63,000 factories since 2001 here in the U.S. entirely caused by globalization and wages too high here in the U.S. to compete on a world scale.

So, the early death of my generation is primarily caused by Globalization over all other causes. Accepting this the next generation can figure out what to do about this, because globalization also means they might die at 40 to 60 years of age because of Globalization too.

Of course there are other factors like we were the ones of the Social Revolutions of the 1960s and 1970s worldwide.

We were the ones who traveled the world and started to make friends with people in all countries so we didn't have to all die in a nuclear holocaust. We succeeded in this at least so far.

We were the ones who because of the Insane Viet Nam War turned often to marijuana and drugs to escape the insanity of our lives in the 1960s and many died then too from this or later.

But, over all these factors those of my generation who survived to the 1990s saw their wages stagnate and watched our children often have to leave the country even with college educations to get jobs elsewhere because of the Great Recession and those who didn't go to college are still working at Burger King or MacDonalds  and some still even with college degrees in the wrong major. And many of them cannot ever buy a home or land because they will be paying back these student loans until they die, often younger than 40 or 50 years of age.

Yes. Globalization is not only the death of the Baby Boomers it is also the death of all generations coming after us too except the top 10% of the nation.

The 90% continue to suffer like we all did before World War II.

The Gravy Train of the 1950s through the 1970s is over and mortality is high and climbing once again.
