Camp CodgerWhat Happened in 1968When we asked ourselves, "What happened in 1968?" several big news stories came to mind. Then we started doing the research for this episode of the Camp Codger podcast. We were amazed by everything that happened in just one year.
The year 1968 just might be one of the most turbulent and interesting years in modern history. The Vietnam War was dividing America. Technology was marching forward. The younger generation was making itself heard and asking for change. And the news was delivered to houses everywhere in living color.

Camp CodgerAgeism in the WorkplaceAgeism in the workplace is a growing problem.
The population continues to age, and the percentage of "senior citizens" continues to rise. As more older people continue to work, ageism in the workplace will surely continue to grow.
What exactly is ageism? Simply put, it's prejudice or discrimination on the grounds of a person's age. And many older folks have experienced it.
A recent study revealed that 25.8 percent of US adults aged 65 to 74 were still working in 2021. That study predicted the percentage of 65 to 74-year-olds in the workforce will increase to 30.7 percent in 2031.2023-06-2827 minCamp CodgerAgeism in the WorkplaceAgeism in the workplace is a growing problem.

As Camp Codger's resident geek, Gary firmly embraced modern reading technology with the first Kindle in 2007. He finds bookstores less relevant today. Gary firmly prefers digital books over print books, but he does have many good bookstore memories. For print book lovers, the good news is that bookstores are actually enjoying a comeback as the New York Times reports.
