There are of course many Millennials that are not quite so spoiled. But there are definitely pockets of helplessness out there.

One of my favorite stories is the young man who got a flat tire and sat in his car for hours waiting for help. He was not aware that if he lifted the carpet in his trunk, that there was a compartment that held a spare tire and the tools for changing it.

Of course, that begs the question whether or not he would have known how to use the tools to change his tire.

My dad insisted that each of us kids change a tire for the spare before we took the car out the first time. One sister hated it. The rest of us loved it.

Probably not. I for one wasn't taught till it happened to me. I ran on the rims and had to get it replaced. Dad was appalled that I didn't know so he taught me and we practiced.

The only Millennials I know that aren't that way are the ones who live in the Bible Belt and Middle America. They're taught early on nobody owes you 'nutin' son, you gotta get up and get yourself a job!

The Boondock Millennials and the military family millennials are among the few I know that aren't like that. One of my associates, a businessman from Portland ME had to get to where he was by the straps of his army boots.He had to enlist in the military to get to college. Changed his whole outlook. Went from self entitled pantywaist liberal to Conservative in a heartbeat!!

Everyone else, even the poor ones think to themselves don't worry! Your parents take care of you till your 18, then the government looks after you you aint gotta care to worry about as long as there are Democrats running things here.

I doubt he would have.

Liberty Insurance has been airing and ad where the mother is so thankful that all their son had to do was call for roadside assistance. Meanwhile the other boys whose parent’s insurance doesn’t cover it are stranded and helpless.

I made my daughter change a tire before she ever got her license.

Yet he could have watched a youtube video of changing a car tire.

Things have never been easier than today. Every time I am uncertain of the process how to do something, I go right to the internet, usually youtube, sometimes other source.

You can learn to change a tire from watching a youtube vid. You would think he would know.
