You remember that episode of ST:TNG "Too short a season"?
Trying to get an internship around the time iPhones got popular was a nightmare.
So much scut work and entry level work (i.e. assistant and basic secretarial) just didn't need a person any more.
I can't imagine how bad it is right now.
I am typically against calls to divide the proletariat, whether it is because of race, gender, religion, or age. From the point of view of the capital class these are all good ways to keep us separated.
I will note that retired people have some similarities with the bourgeoisie, in that they earn a living on savings and investments, so no longer work.
