No old people.
No young people.
Millenials are having their moment.
For me, the core problem isn’t really any of the generations. I think companies don’t pay well, and they have a lot of stupid rules. Young people may be bratty but they also realize that this is all a great big game, and the deck is stacked against them. They’ve been lied to all their lives, and they realize that the American Dream was there for older people, but it isn’t there for them. They are deciding that they don’t want to play a game that they can’t win.
