I think it has less to do with laziness as much as it has to do with the lack of opportunity to do well for yourself now.
I'm not making excuses because yeah you have losers out there, but sh_t is looking bleak for my generation because of the economy.
I read something the other week that over half the people working in this country make under $30,000 a year. There's no statement in the union where anyone can afford the average one room apartment making below $15-16 an hour of I recall correctly either. Forget the housing market. My family bought a 4 bedroom house in hunters creek in Orlando 20 years ago at $140,000. When we moved to a bigger house (3000 square feet and a pool) in 1999, that house we moved into went for $180,000. Now that house would cost $365,000 on the open market. I know a guy who works as a paralegal and is stuck living at home at 31 simply because a house is too expensive to buy if you're single nowadays. You're not finding a good sized house with a pool under $300,000 is my guess. I got my bachelors last year and have spent a year trying to get into teaching. My cousins in New Jersey got their masters in teaching and had to go back to school a few years back simply because they couldn't find work with their degree.

I've been trying to drive home this point. 1 IN 3 AMERICANS IS ON SOME KIND OF GOVERNMENT SUBSIDY OR SUPPORT. Good luck you aren't gonna get far.
America refuses to govern poor people's reproductive rights (regardless of Race).
Our people in particular we consider every child a blessing no matter what conditions the child is raised in, regardless of the child's comfort. The courts claim it's "In the best interests of the child" however, often when you see the living conditions of many orphans and abused children living with their biological parents - It was in their best interests not to have been born AT ALL....
We incessantly assert that suffering has MEANING....Well I call BS....Because we CHOOSE to make our children suffer in poverty in this nation when we have clear choices to avoid such a result - Through SELFISHNESS we continue to birth them into these circumstances under the GUISE of "free will" when NOTHING IN NATURE IS FREE!!!!!

All these things cost money. The idea of universal basic income is based upon the premise of it (a) being an antipoverty program and (b) freeing up people to pursue whatever they want. Eventually it's either going to be that or a federal job guarantee.
That said, these guys sound like the dudes who vote for Trump. That's also a very interesting stat. It's 1/4 of 1/3 of millennials. So two thirds of millennials don't live at home. And of those that do, 75% either are in school or have a job.

You're trolling, cut it out. It's not attractive.
"Of those, 40% of them are already in their 30's, they're predominantly white"
Whites need to ask what's going on in their communities. The break down of the white family strucure is responsible for this.
These types don't need to be coddled, they need tough love.

No. I actually did it with no family support. From nothing. Yet here you are crying probably living in your parents house. For, you not on my level that's why you see it as trolling. Be a victim, loser.

There's things that I wish I learned back when I was 16, that would put me in a crazy position now.
