      There's an interesting flipside to piece which is that there is a missing generation on the left: people ages 35-65.

          Not entirely true but my 38 yr old daughter raised by very progressive/lib parents is mostly apolitical while some her age are passionate.

          The are leftists in that missing cohort of 33-65 but they tend to be fewer in number, often crank misanthropes (no names).

          They're here. Core GenXers out there working their asses off and shocked to the core that this is where we are.

          Yeah, from my own journey I'd say GenXers are now about 50-50 for making it/not making it. And more are not-making it by the day.
