Nonetheless, expect tax rates on millennials to rise so that ungracious, unappreciative boomers get ridiculous benefits they do not deserve and did not earn.

Well, that sure disabled my Give A Shit response...

Yeah, it's true, people between the ages of 18 and 33 probably are in the most stressful period of their lives because of all the changes they go though, in transition between pampered children and responsible adulthood.

I believe that's been the case as long as I can remember, it's not particularly a new phenomenon.

Sure, the challenges facing them are immense, but they COULD be a lot worse.

Boomers indeed made a lot of mistakes; one of the worst was raising the most self-entitled generation in history. My advice to the author is if he wants people to feel his pain, he needs to find a way to do it without sounding so whiney. I hate whiners.

Maybe your cussing in public stresses them, there is no reason to use that language on a public forum of conservatives.

Boomers are all greedy self-absorbed takers from government......(See how generational generalizations can work)

” I hate whiners.”

A “whiner” is someone hasn’t yet qualified for government benefits then?

“Well, that sure disabled my Give A”

Cussing is neither nice nor do the site rules look kindly upon it.

“Yeah, it’s true, people between the ages of 18 and 33 probably are in the most stressful period of their lives because of all the changes they go though, in transition between pampered children and responsible adulthood.”

That is true.

“Sure, the challenges facing them are immense, but they COULD be a lot worse.”

Also true. Compared to the Depression and WWII, it’s not so much.

“Boomers indeed made a lot of mistakes; one of the worst was raising the most self-entitled generation in history.”

And then again, if you asked someone who’s Gen X/Y, he’d say that the GI Generation raised the most self-entitled people in history. In fact, if you asked your 90 yo Uncle Jim who fought at Anzio, he’d probably agree too.

Hence the saying “Why do children and grandparents get along so well? They have a common enemy.”
