How disconnected can boomers be from reality for her situation to be something she’d feel legitimately entitled to complain publicly about? How disconnected is the Business Insider journalist that heard her and thought “wow, that’s newsworthy”??

    I mean, she had a remote (US) job and lost the job, and is now having trouble finding a new job at age 55. She’d still be in the same situation even if she was still living in CA except she’d be worse off in CA from the higher cost of living. So this story doesn’t really have anything to do with the implication in the headline that moving to Panama was somehow a mistake.

      Thank you for reading the article (or making up a cool counterfactual, I don’t know which because I didn’t read it)
