BERNIE'S MANIFESTO
"Naw" came the response. Well dust off your copy of 'Rules for Radicals' guys, cause you need a little Saul Alinsky right about now - with some Abbie Hoffman thrown in for good measure.
Weird, these kids know they are being fucked by a generation that's taking it all out with 'em. New retirement rules for those under 55, new job benefits (always lower) for those under 55 and nothing but dead-end jobs 'cause the brass is 55 plus and ain't retiring any time soon. Forget about jobs altogether - there ain't any with careers attached. So everyone is 'branding' themselves, doing pick-up work out of Kinko's computer and hoping that their folks can spot 'em rent this month. Forget about having kids, buying a house or having a self-supporting life. The best you can do is cut out cable, car, your land line and dinner out at Denny's once a week. And the future looks no better.
This blog is devoted to the coming revolt of the after-boomers; Gen X,Y,Z or the Millenniums or the name I'd like to give ya all, 'the Next Lost Generation'. You guys really are what Karl Marx would call the 'Proletariat' - but that's for my next edition.
