Millenials. Ensuring that I will be a preferred employment option well into my 90s.

Oh, and raising the minimum wage just boosts my desirability.

What does it say about the previous generation, mocking their own children for the behavior they instilled?

Generation X

Let me play Devil’s Advocate here. I coached youth ice hockey for 31 years. I coached at all levels from Learn to Play up to and including high school. I was also a referee and held several board positions.

Ice hockey is a team sport. Every player has a defined job. It requires cooperation, communication and chemistry. Players EARN their “participation trophies”.
