In the last 6 months, my company has been laying off boomers in droves. You know, people who have ascended to made up titles and you have no idea what they actually do.
What's funny is it is just the opposite in my place of employment. Boomer Paradise I tell you. A little Man Behind the Curtain moment for you CCS just because I think it ties nicely into this thread while still ignoring the obvious thread it should be in that Ommy derailed into oblivion last week.
So I work for Weigel Broadcasting. You Chicagoland natives that still acknowledge antenna television should know them best as channel 26 (WCIU), but in 2019 it is really a pair of “sister stations” that are the bread and butter here. “MeTV” and “MeToo” have been picked up just about everywhere and is specifically catering to the newly retired Boomers with great success. So in that aspect the Boomers are literally putting money in my bank account and probably account for the reemergence of my end of year bonus check as well.
Granted it's due to this universal fear of change combined with too much conditioning to tell the television what they should watch after decades of it working the other way around that is keeping them off of the streaming services that should have put me out of work by now.
So God bless all of you Boomers that just cannot comprehend that “I am just going to watch whatever is already on” rarely applies to television in 2019. You are the reason I can afford Netflix
and Amazon Prime.
