Since we're on the subject. Have you noticed the other odd age related tech thing?
Namely, that now, YOUNG workers are fricking computer illiterate? This boggles my mind more. How does one graduate college and still treat MS Word like it's a typewriter with a screen?
I find that the tech savvy we saw from especially early millennials has regressed in late millennials and the new generation. THese people are good at phones, and not much else.

And because you can play on your I phone doesn’t mean you know more than a man with 40 years experience. I’m 49 and I realize that there is a lot to learn from a 60 year old that has been in the industry for 40 years. Maybe you should open your eyes and ears and see that there is always something to learn from someone that has been doing it for a lifetime. One day you will grow up.
This is definitely true. But, you have to admit that there are a lot of folks our age who literally say out loud, "yeah, I'm not that tech savvy" in relation to what really ain't hard shite

Don't get me wrong, the experience in my office from the older folks is unparalleled.

Humorously, I’m 37 and my boss is 62. Whenever we’re in word or excel he has to help my dumbass with formatting and cell formulas.
I’m his network engineer and am multiple times over certified as an “expert” in my field.
He couldn’t code or type in CLI to save his life.

This is basically me. I design cloud and hybrid cloud IT solutions. I probably do something more complex than simple arithmetic in Excel once a year.

I envy you, honestly. I hate NY, and I miss Louisiana (I was only there for four years, but I loved it), but the reality is that in many fields, your job has you in a choke-hold in small markets. I startedy current job in Michigan and I had a magnanimous boss who told me after six months: "I love you kid, but there are seven people in this office, and nobody quits. If you stay here, you'll always have a job here, but you'll never get promoted. If you're happy in your spot, I'd love to keep you, but if you're not, you have to get the frick out of here."
I took his advice and here I am. My industry is expanding to weird new markets (for it), so I'm looking elsewhere now, but until we live in a truly remote-work world, many people like myself are going to have to be stuck in big cities even if we hate them.

I lived in NYC in my early 20s. Upper west side. I made it about 15 months or so.

My boss was out and he was actually having me build the BOM for a very complicated hybrid cloud/on-prem firewall deployment that I would be doing and he had to join a zoom to show me where autosum was.

I can usually use Google to find what I need but I'm much better with Powershell than Excel. I just don't use it that often.

You were probably already a far left voter. Free healthcare got you or do you have kids that'll be starting college soon?

I'm a millennial and I'd Pinochet Bernie.

I believe any civilized nation should have a healthcare system for all . We already have socialism. It’s corporate socialism. Tax breaks, favors for corporations which in turn donate to politicians and keep them in office. People don’t dislike Bernie because he’s a socialist. They dislike him because he speaks truth to power. The fact is very social program has been called socialism. It’s the right wings fear tactic when they can’t argue intellectually.

I don't mind arguing with you without calling you names. I think it will cost way more than even the most aggressive projections like most government programs do. Rich people won't pay for most of it. The middle class will.
They also aren't telling you about the low margins that most hospitals operate with. They make almost all of their profits on private insurance. The US taxpayer will be on the hook to prop up thousands of them in a Medicare for all scenario.

I'm more than happy to engage in substantive, productive, and earnest discussion about the merits of Bernie's proposals.

I dislike him because he weaponizes jealousy and envy and is trying to take power through his version of the truth.
Socialism is agreeable to a certain extent, but he’s using it for class division.

Doctors will have their tax bills paid by the NHS in a bid to avert a winter crisis caused by understaffing.
Thousands of medics will be offered an emergency deal, amid growing concern about the number of consultants refusing to work overtime because they are hit by a pensions “tax trap”.
The rules mean doctors can be hit with tax rates of more than 90 per cent on their earnings - including their pension contributions - if they earn more than £110,000 a year.
It means consultants are substantially cutting back on any overtime or weekend work as they can be taxed thousands for earning a penny over the threshold.
quote:The fact that it doesn’t work in a country 1/5th our size and you still want to go ahead with it is amazing.
Matt Hancock, health secretary, will today issue a ministerial direction instructing NHS chiefs to introduce a plan aimed at heading off an immediate crisis.
Last week official statistics revealed Accident & Emergency waiting times are the worst since records begun, stoking fears about how the NHS will cope this winter.
Under the new terms, clinical staff will be told that tax bills caused by overtime can be paid out of their pension, with the NHS committing to later topping up their pots, so the total value of them is not reduced.
The deal - for this financial year only - could cost the health service hundreds of millions of pounds, but will be spread over decades, as the money will not have to be found until medics retire.
