    Sorry, how is your post different from someone claiming [insert racial group] is prone to greed and you’re simply trying to criticize greed? It’s basically a Mad Libs of that old fashioned bigotry.

    Also, I’m confused by your first paragraph there. It’s such a weird thing to acknowledge that birth year is a fixed/ascribed trait then immediately launch into a prejudicial rant based on said ascribed trait. Even weirder to pause mid rant to claim you aren’t a bigot for inexorably linking an ascribed trait to a achieved (greed) state, which is basically the literal definition of bigotry. Or, is “That’s exactly the same thing” sarcasm and you’re implying people do choose when they’re born? Very confusing.

      Or, is … sarcasm

      You’re quick. Fuck everyone in my mother’s generation who won’t step aside and let younger people hold office, buy houses (she lives alone in a three bedroom house), or start careers (a former CEO came out of retirement and accepted a low-level position part-time where my partner works just so he’d have “something to do” ten hours per week). They are suppressing everyone under them.
