Millennials are very good when it comes to stuff like posting selfies at Coachella, but there are some skills they lack. So we went on the street this afternoon to ask young people if they can open a can of paint. It's not so hard but let's see if these passers-by can figure out how to do it.
Generation Useless: Millennials can't open a can of paint
“I am at the tail end of the baby boom generation, growing up in the 60s and 70s. My parents’ families both lost everything in the Great Depression, grew up poor and then went to war———”
Most tail end Boomers were not born to the Greatest Generation-———same work ethic,though.

My parents were born in the mid 1920s and did not have children until they were both over 30, which was unusual at the time but not so unusual now.
I was the youngest child of parents who were each the youngest children of their parents. My grandparents were all born in the 1880s and 1890s. My oldest grandfather was born in 1880, before the invention of the airplane, automobile, or radio, was a soldier in WWI, and lived long enough to see men orbit the moon.
As alien to them as reading cursive.
My brother showed me the filament tape trick many years ago. You can win bets from people who don’t know it.
“How is that not teaching?”
Never said it wasn’t. One of the most enjoyable time in my life. Letting my son hang around.
