Obama was born in 1961. The Baby Boom generation was through 1964. He’s actually a so called “Boomer”.
I personally hate these classifications. They’re pretty much bull****. You could be Gandhi, but maybe born in 1960, and you be considered a “Boomer” in the broad (VERY broad) scheme of things.
How about we judge individuals for who they are vs. what generation they were born in? I’ve met so many amazing people from each generation, and many complete ****ups from each generation too.

Weren’t you humble bragging about having to do your own taxes and planning on your substantial trust fund not long ago?
We’d have to assume that your immediate ancestry extracted that wealth from cheap labor?
So in fact you’re a beneficiary of the oppression which you point out here.

Pilots can repeat this myth one million times, but it doesn't make it any more true.
There are exactly zero studies, from ALPA or insurance actuaries or anybody else, to support this thinking.
Yes, there ARE studies about decreased lifespan in shift workers - but none of those captured professional pilots.

Absence of a study on just pilots who just work nights doesn't prove anything.

How much richer and better off would third world inhabitants be if they weren't "exploited?" Your answer will reveal whether or not you believe in verifiable data.

If you want America and Europe to depopulate itself, stop immigration and you’ve just solved your “problem”. (It’s not a problem, you’re wrong, and the “depopulate the world” is a death cult. By all means though, don’t reproduce, please.).
Japan is the case study in this. They’re going quietly into that good night. There are…problems with this approach.
