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.

My friend research this guy at her company, who would always claim to be a millennial. He was actually older, but pretending to be millennial. I understand why, because companies cater to millennials an hate Gen Xers.

You can thank the world going off the gold standard and operating on debt instruments for this, where each decade since 1971 cheapens your money more and more.

From the 70s onward, college students and everyone else - businesses, too - were offered the "You're pre-approved!" credit cards.

Hello, $37 trillion national debt.
