Comment on Fortune: Baby Boomers are strangling the economyparent

As someone on the tail end of that birth cohort (and to quote Monty Python), "I'm not dead yet!".

According to BLS (as pointed to by https://usafacts.org/answers/what-is-the-labor-force-partici...), the 55-and-older stat is 37.1%. I don't think 7 years would reduce that to between 5-10%. Also, it's worth noting that projections from BLS showed labor‑force participation for ages 75+ rising to about 10.8% by 2026, up from 4.7% in 1996.
