That sounds like typical Reddit. Ever get on r/lostgeneration? It's full of the most obnoxious, stereotypical millennials who all think they deserve a free ride through life. When they're not complaining about their landlords having the audacity to expect the rent every month, they're whining about how the 'boomers' stole all the jobs and houses and deliberately destroyed the economy just to torture them. It's snowflake central!

Techie, I dare you to go to r/lostgeneration and post that. You'll probably be banned within an hour, just as I was for stating that Bernie Sanders's strategery of assuming that all 12 of his opponents in the race would stay in to the bitter end, thus dividing the vote, allowing him to go into the convention with 27% support and win the nomination, was idiotic.
They're also pro communism and one of the things they hate about the boomers is that the boomers, being old enough to remember the Soviet Union/Cold War are anti communist.

I doubt they want to hear positive facts. Some folks are just addicted to negativity and prefer to live in it. Do I really want to get to join their crowd even if it is to express an opposing view? Probably not... If I take even a remote chance of stepping in their direction by having a discussion there, I would rather abstain from said discussion.

They will be living in it. And in some ways, their breeding will help bring it on as well.
I just read in a cf forum on Facebook about a woman who worked at a dental office listening to a brood sow with 7 kids, the sow kept repeating that she had 7 bastards, and couldn't afford a root canal or crown for the 9 year old daughter with her. Kid ended up crying from embarassment or whatever. Goddam stupid cunt. Breed like a stupid cockroach and expect everything handed to her because of her over used twat.

Wow, I guess every generation has a segment consisting of snowflakes who only see the worst in everything. My observation is a little different. Millennials got to buy their houses for pennies on the dollar, as baby boomers and Gen Xs were giving up their real estate to the bank. Millennials are the most educated segment of the society, holding the most college degrees. They saw the highest wage growth and were most likely to be chosen for promotions at their jobs. Millennials benefited the most from crypto currencies and have built more wealth with their smartphones than any other generation. Think YouTubers, think bitcoin mining that created millionaires in a very short time. Maybe I am wrong but Millennials did not get the short end of the stick, in my opinion.

Cryptocurrencies are the socially stunted people’s version of MLM.

. And earning money on Youtube takes at least as much work as a job. You have to regularly make entertaining videos and hope that enough people enjoy them enough to subscribe. You wouldn’t say a director, producer, or actor has an easy job, would you?

I would say it's easy. They screw up a take, next take. They see a gun it's a prop.
My job I screw up someone dies. No do over. No next take. I've been shot at - as a volunteer.
I'd gladly let any actor -especially those so called action heroes - experience just one of my work related nightmares. Let them see what a human death is really like when they try and turn it into entertainment.
They make entertainment. Nobody has ever died because they missed an episode. That makes it easy. I miss an intubation or an IV somebody dies. That's stress, that's hard.

Fair enough, I forgot who was writing this. I’ve read your stories before. Obviously your job is tougher than Youtube, but your job is also tougher than almost every other job.
That’s not a generation difference, unless you wanted to become a YouTuber.

"The "squatters" are the original homeowners, and a large group of protestors surrounding them by invitation to defend them against eviction. According to their side of the story, they were double-billed during a period of confusion while their mortgage was being traded among several investment banks. During the process of sorting out that mess, developers took advantage of the situation to buy out the property and try to evict them."

Do you know how much college degrees cost today? Even if you go with the cheapest option of commuting to a state school, you’re paying $10k/year for tuition alone. Living on campus would add an extra $10k. A private school is at least $40k/year. Then at least several hundred per year for university fees, and the school adds new fees each year. If you drive you pay hundreds per semester for parking. Unless you get an athletic or National Merit Scholarship, scholarships will give you less than $1000 if you’re chosen after you fill applications that are almost as taxing as job applications. Schools also go out of their way to keep you from graduating on time because they want more tuition money. AP/IB credit gives a lot less college credit than it used to. Having the most college degrees also means the competition is tougher. Now they expect concurrent experience in the field. There’s still a lot of politics involved as always.
Housing prices have skyrocketed because of foreign investors. Also saving for a house became more difficult because apartment rents cost a lot more. Cryptocurrencies are the socially stunted people’s version of MLM. Most people lose money and a lot of the ones who gain still need regular jobs to pay the bills. And earning money on Youtube takes at least as much work as a job. You have to regularly make entertaining videos and hope that enough people enjoy them enough to subscribe. You wouldn’t say a director, producer, or actor has an easy job, would you?

I am not a millenial but I am super close in age to be one. Yes, I know how much a college costs. I paid it off by working 80 hours a week. Driving to school? Drove a rusty clunker that I bought with my own money. Having a degree has earned me more money than it earned both of my parents combined. Both of my parents have degrees but they did not work in a sector that experienced exponential growth. Housing prices are high but most people younger than me, they got to buy at the bottom of the market. First time home buyer credits of 5% of value coupled with super low interest rates, life is good. Bitcoin has hit some lows but every low is higher than the one before. Youtubers do put in some work, but like Thom says, it is an easier way to make money.
