Millennials aren't buying diamonds, napkins, homes, cars, McDonalds, Appleby's, clothing at full price, movies, music, golf, (and probably porn as well).

How much do their cell phones cost?

Isn't that where all the money goes?

Millenials are doped up out the wazoo on psychiatric drugs for made-up mental illnesses.

Millennials are the worst educated generation since the Dark Ages, and the college "educated" are even worse.

Millenials have been deliberately indoctrinated with a liberal psychosis that will forever prevent them from becoming productive humans in a human civilization.

Of course, there is always the small percentage who can effectively resist the indoctrination, maybe 3%, or 5%. Lots of those were home-schooled and/or military.

They aren’t investing in homes, Wall Street or porsches...

Duh, they’re just dumb broke kids... what you expect?

We’re told they all have trouble finding decent jobs, have very little money, and half live in their parents’ basements - hard to see how they have enough financial clout to kill any industry all by themselves.....

For the upper class of the planet, which includes most in the West, we’re approaching post-scarcity economics. STUFF is cheap.
So you value novelty, uniqueness and experience over physical items. The new show of wealth is not uber expensive items but having a beauty routine that shows you have massive amounts of free time, a workout routine that proves you have the luxury of time to do it, the pictures of travel that is exclusive.

Well those losers certainly destroyed rock music.

75 million millennials...approx 13% unemployed.

their jobs are generally:
- servers
- cashiers
- interns
- healthcare
- sales associates

average salary of millennials is less than 38k a year.

They don’t have money to buy all that stuff or do all that stuff.

Millenials are avoiding hog troughs like Applebees and Buffalo Wings? I have admit, I haven't given them enough credit. Opting for mom-n-pops is a very strong healthy sign. Perhaps we need to observe them more closely.

Millennials are lazy.

I;\m not doing that either, and I'm an early Boomer.
