I agree with much of what you say, mmm. However, I find your inclusion of the descriptive "white" is illustrative of certain prejudices you have that continually let your analyses down.
You also miss the point that many of us middle-aged "sorted" people have children and grandchildren. I do and to suggest I am blind to their plight is wrong. I (and I'm sure others on here) have spend a large proportion of my saving paying off university fees, buying cars, paying deposits on houses etc.
