That's too bad, Carol. Seems like sensitivity is not always the best of traits when pushing into troubled waters with one's writing. Perhaps, as you say, he was having a bad day.
I was getting pretty toasted about this subject a year ago with Ok Boomer comments and articles and wrote one of me own. I got some interesting comments in replay - but most were pretty understanding.
I am a Boomer by one definition, but it doesn't define me. Being responsible for housing shortgage today because I was born in 1953 is pretty farfetched. Considering the dealings behind the scenes with 100Ks of homes being bought and turned into rentals. Wish they would just do the research.
Anyway good article. If you're interested in what I had to say - have a peek. Cheers.
