Please put a tldr - cultural upheaval, the generation gap, and dynamic business shifts (like energy and the internet) create a transition period that devalues the older generation's skills and production faster than the newer generation can come in to replace them. In turn, the older generation resists the change using their existing political and investment power, which further disrupts economic activity.

Nice try - it needs some work before it is an essay. I think I would agree with the conclusion, but there is way too much rambling, anecdotal evidence, and personalization - and you sound like you can't contain yourself at some points, which makes it sound on the whole unprofessional. Also, give us a summary in the introduction - we don't want to read it all as it is way too long for its own good.

Sorry some things you should take the time to read. Or if you are quick enough just look at the PDF and you should see a trend or eerily similar trends.
