They went away when corporate America started outsourcing to India. Now we have techies at Sunnyvale, CA making $120K and having to live in a van

Trump Rallies. They traded the Ralph Lauren bizwear for MAGA hats.

They're all whitehairs now (dyeing it, though) and hanging on to their jobs for dear life, refusing to retire after 45 years or so. Desperately trying to not make waves.

Eeeew. I was in college during the heyday of this stuff. Scores of sorority girls with plaid skirts secured with a giant gold safety pin. And the boys with sweaters tied around their necks and the "popped" collars of their polo shirts. Ugh.

We're 're still here...we're eldergays now. I'm 66, and retired for 11 years after a career of investment banking at Merrill Lynch. Never really understood the histrionics about YUPpies. I went to college, worked hard, advanced, made money, bought homes, traveled, invested, and retired. If someone chooses not to do those things...and it IS a choice...then they reap what they sow.
