I’m not sure where you are from, so it maybe a location thing. I have one daughter that is a millennial and my other is gen-y. I’m around them, their friends and other youth regularly. They are hard working, responsible and conservative. I am not an ageist, but if I were going to be, I would single out people about ten years older than me as being the socialists that are ruining this country. I’m at the tail end of baby boomers. I tend to get along well with people much older than me and much younger than me. As for the young people in this country, so few have yet to make any impact yet. Wait until they are 40 and see how they turn out.
It depends how they are raised.
I’ve got four. Millennial and Gen Z
All are independent and well employed.
One is a trucker. He was workin for a company that went bankrupt. His boss made a phone call on his behalf and told them my son was the hardest working kid he’d ever known.
He was hired without an interview.
So glad to hear it-—sounds like you raised them well. I actually have two sons both are late 20s, both successful, married.
Ive always talked about politics with them since they were little—actually we discussed everything. My younger one is more moderate/conservative than his older brother, but I wouldn’t call either one, left wing. They’re out in the real world, immersed in the competitive marketplace, marriage, taxes etc—all has a way of opening eyes to conservative principles.
But boy are some of their friends progressive...saying things like, “it would be a much better country if the government would buy a house for everyone to have as their own, it would take away envy and resentment and there would be more peace”
No intérêt in even considering free market principles...some dont seem to have connected that the affluent lives their parents gave them is directly related to the capitalist system we have.
