There is a strong segregation. I'd argue it isn't just generational though. And it's not new

Look at literally the hiring habits of every Indian manager, or eastern European?

Literally all it took was 1 Indian to be promoted to director of my department,and we have not had a single promotion, or out of cycle raise for anyone that was not a man with strong Indian roots. Not once in almost a decade. If you want up, you must move sideways - which I thankfully did.

My friends employer hired a VIP that was from Belarus, and within 6 months. My buddy found he was the only American still in his entire department.

    It's weird because I'm a much better worker and person than I was in my 20s.

    Yes but you are also much more expensive than you were in your 20s. Even if you took the lower wages, the cost for insurance for the company is higher.

    There's also the stigma/stereotype(?) of older individuals being stubborn, outspoken, and (often( refusing to learn new processes. "You can't teach an old dog new tricks" .

    I unfortunately can say I had these views when I was younger but we will all get to the other side of that coin.

    Yes it's safer but gunshots are now higher than auto?

    Also everyone's "health lifestyle" eventually kills everyone. The more you work the higher the percentage your death will be "on the clock" and therefore an on-the-job death.
