I hate this viewpoint. It makes it seem like retirees are a nefarious bunch who are taking advantage of youngsters.

In reality, age discrimination makes it nigh impossible to land a meaningful job once you're over the age of 60.

Agree that age discrimination is a big, complicating factor. Saw this impact a very qualified family member who had to tap some connections in their network of past coworkers just to find a mediocre role. (They're massively over qualified.)

I think another reason for some negative feelings is the appearance that some generations have pulled up the ladder after their accent: in real estate, pensions, healthcare, etc.
