Millionaire slams feckless, molly-coddled youngsters who live off the bank of mum and dad.

The millionaire lifestyle guru Martha Stewart has issued a stinging criticism of the millennial generation and claimed youngsters are too LAZY to get ahead.

Too many members of “Generation Snowflake” are still living with their parents rather than getting out into the world and making something of their lives, the celebrity businesswoman raged.

She is the latest person to rail against a mollycoddled generation who have turned universities into “safe spaces” to avoid testing their ideas in the crucible of debate and called on conference attendees to “make jazz hands” because clapping is too traumatic for their sensitive souls.

Had to look up "jazz hands". As I surmised, it's rather gay.

And she's endorsed Hillary. Wonder if Trump can ask Hillary if she agree's with her or reject her endorsement?

Trump could also use it to attract despondent Bernie voters.

Was just talking to older kid last night about how her generation is full of self-absorbed fragile snowflakes and she totally agreed. I blame a lot of it on social media where every random nobody wants to feel like they’re special and unique and (somehow) amazing, even when they’re not.

Yes they have, and God Bless every one of these underappreciated and unacknowledged Americans.

Part of the Millennials plight is the electronics, techie social media world of computers and smart phones, FB, Twitter, etc.. As kids alot of us didnt have these devices and we were more social and did things outdoors. Guys took old cars and tinkered around with them. We worked part time jobs and strived a little more to make a go of things. Then again society wasnt as effed up morally as it us now either.

I have met many fine Millennials, People of good character, work ethic. People who are or will be immensely successful. I have met a few who are spoiled brats. You should not paint a generation with a broad brush because of a few. However, if there is a generation which has a track record of squandering their birth right, it is my group, the baby boomers.

Martha Stewart didn’t go to jail for insider trading, she went to jail for being trusting enough to answer questions when asked.

Never talk to LEOs. Ever. They get the same brownie points for putting an innocent person in jail as they do for a guilty one.

They are also ignorant as hell. Ask them “who fought WWII?” You won’t believe it. Ask them “who fought the Korean war? Not a clue. History has been blotted out to erase the white male.
