You might as well start calling 20 year olds boomers because it is a class war and always has been a class war and always will be a class war and age is irrelevant. Any name that obscures that fact only helps perpetuate the divisions. Ageists are in the same category as racists, sexists and all other bigots. They contribute nothing to debate but name calling. Deal with the hate or direct it where it is deserved. Call these health insurance CEOs what they are. They are parasitic hoarders of wealth who profit from the misery of others. In fair societies we provide healthcare for all, young and old without these scum. Only a society that has its shit together can do something like that and you can't get your shit together if all you do is call people names.
