The monopoly era gave pensions and high wages because those costs could be passed along to the rate payers. With the end of the monopoly era, competitors emerged that were paying their people less than AT&T and its various spinoffs, and there has been downward pressure on wages and benefits ever since.
This is not rocket science.
Lazy id--t! The backbone of America was built by the baby boomers! Technology has evolved so the lazy generation can click and done!!! You’re welcome!

I am unable to determine if this is malicious, stupid or just absurdly naive. Read a history book.

The country you live in was built by previous generations, the financial crisis you live in was created by the 1% and their toadies. Your arrogance is just an indication of a narrow, shallow world view.
attacking other generations, just gets Randy. and his ilk. off the hook. grow up.
