You mean the same grandpa who probably walked into an office with a suit on, requested an interview, had it then and there, was hired, given union benefits and the like, got pay increases and promotions for simply being there a few years, and probably stayed there until he retired?

Yeah, he definitely knows what he's talking about and isn't possibly obsolete or being critical based on biases he formed in a world that no longer exists not the least having to do with the fact that he voted for politicians like Reagan who eroded our rights and pay in order to allow the rich to reach never before seen levels of obscenely excessive richness that couldn't be spent in a thousand lifetimes.

Might have something to do with us having to do more work for less. No shit our demands are steep.

We pay much more for housing, education and Healthcare. And right now everywhere is short staffed so we do 2+ peoples work for the same pay
