The Atlantic never met a victim it couldn’t create.
And let’s not mention those budget busting 3% mortgage rates!
Liberals look for victimhood.
Americans look cor opportunities.
It's ridiculous. You have government types and white collar people who can hold down a job while working remote making decisions that are destroying millions of jobs and wrecking the economy for other people. We have to end this now. It's not worth destroying my kids' future to avoid a few thousand deaths.
Before flaming me, I say this as a member of an at-risk group. I want to put my kids first.
I have a couple of young people who moved in next to me who seem to be about the millennial age… I gotta tell, it’s bizarre. They avoid eye contact, it’s kind of weird. I don’t know what he does, but she’s an engineer of some kind. We haven’t talked at all really, so how the hell would I know that?
Well, she has two bumper stickers on her car. One says something like “I’m a woman engineer”, and the other one says “Warren 2020”.
When they first moved in over a year ago, it was right around Thanksgiving, maybe a week before. I was making apple pie‘s for our dinner (I make them from scratch, they’re really good) and I had an extra pie because of my relatives like to bring just about a pie for every single person at the party. So I thought it might be nice to bring them over a pie to say hello, but they kind of kept dodging us. Like they run out the front door and jump in the car really quick if they see us.
Well, I guess her with that Elizabeth Warren sticker, and me With my navy hat and my flag all the way up the flagpole… It kind of brings a smile to my face in a way that they are avoiding me if that’s what it is… :-)
I’m going to have to buy me a Gadsden Flag...
Hey Millenials: Shit happens. You don’t have a choice. You don’t vote in decent numbers.
My mother was born two weeks before the stock market crash, she chopped and picked cotton from 4-16 years old, her brothers went to europe to WWII - her boyfriend and later husband went to war in Korea. Tell those punks to suck it up
A recession is three quarters of negative growth. When was the Great Recession?
Can’t believe the millennial bashing here. Sadly most of you don’t have a clue.
Like me, you grew up with cushy jobs, health benefits, pension plans etc. Like you I was able to start saving early. My first job in 86 I had a company car that was paid in full including maintenece and insurance, full 100% paid insurance and a 100% employer paid disability plan.. That does not happen today
Todays millennials have non of that. My niece and her husband pay over $800 per month for a $5000 deductible health plan and their company picks up the rest. No pension plan. Yeah they have a 401k but that is really self paid retirement.
I won’t mention their competition with HB-1 workers, high priced homes, offshoring of jobs, outrageous car prices and repair bills.
Back when I was in college you could work summers and part of fall and pay your entire tuition for the school year.
Don’t get me startred with employers who will not even open your resume unless you have a 4 year degree.
We had it easy compared to millennials.
Millenials think that their degree in homosexual studies qualifies them for a $100k a year job while ignoring the blue collar jobs like electricians and mechanics and truck drivers.

Shouldn’t have voted for Obama twice, Hillary in 16 and Biden in 20.
As an aside, whenever I have angst about Millennial bad behavior, I try to remember that their parents, my generation, must take blame for much of it.
I have two millennial daughters. They are both doing well and will continue to do so. Both are conservative and hard working, and so are their friends. The only millennials that will have long term problems and be subject to the doom and gloom that The Atlanic aches are those that are pessimistic and box themselves in as part of some persecuted group.
Funny how we mock all the millenials when we live like Snowflakes....the new normal. Sound familiar? That was how Obama told use to give up all hope!
As if the plunge off the demographic cliff wasn’t already going fast enough.
Those Gender Studies and Art History degrees just don’t seem to be panning out. Bummer.
Keep getting those worthless degrees, BUT DO NOT ASK ME TO PAY FOR THEM!
I said basically the same thing.
You had a generation of college grads living in Mom’s basement during the Obama
Depression. No sooner do they get 3-years of employment, get a new Honda Civic on a 7 year loan, and move into an $800/month apartment they can call their own, but now they are laid off with no way to service the car loan or the monthly rent.
Man, does nature have it in for them. They really have been body slammed by fate. I got caught up in the Reagan Resession of ‘1982-’84, and that was brutal enough. These kids today, they are just getting it from all directions.
Brutal! I really feel for them. They are going to become a cynical lot if this keeps up.
