hmm maybe just maybe its not that I and millions of other Americans magically became “unemployable” during the Obama years and somehow magically became employable again after the Obama years.
Perhaps it was just that Obama and his dumbass policies sucked and throttled the US economy.
And no I did not claim to be “put upon”. I was simply pointing out to the millenial writer of this article that that generation is neither the first nor the only generation to not get conditions as good as the Boomer generation got. Rather than blaming them for being fortunate, they’d be better served by trying to work through it and not being so bitter toward their parents’ generation.
But your position is ridiculous.
How many Boomers were drafted and went off to horrible years of war, only to return disabled — or not to return at all?
Certainly they weren’t feeling “poor” if they were graduate students.
And again, they typically started real work one to two decades before your average Xer did.
