Interesting that you’re instantly defensive…”you don’t know me…go ahead and blame boomers…” when I neither suggested anything about you except that you’re repeating tired stereotypes about generations, nor did I blame our older generations for anything. Its a combination of factors that no individual person or group can really be blamed for, but the bottom line is that as a result, getting established has seldom been harder in the post-WW2 world.

What I can see now is you just have a stick up your ass about millennials. I see young people working as hard as we did every day. Are you under the impression that no one under 60 works or builds or produces anything? The difference is that when they go to look for a house, there’s none to buy, or the average cost is at a historic high. I see young guys with 4, 5 deployments to Iraq or Afghanistan under their belts, mentally and physically shattered. At least they’re not being pelted with garbage like the guys coming back from Vietnam but they haven’t had a lazy time of it either.

Anyway, I thank the heavens above I never had children in their crazy world, but who raised these millennials anyway? Or didn’t raise them, I should say. The single thing I do emphatically blame boomers for is thinking that “free childcare” was ever actually free.

“I see young people working as hard as we did every day.”

There is no way the youth of today have the same work ethic.They absolutely do not. You must be living in some alternative parallel universe.
