"Millenials: We suck and We're Sorry" these people are f*cking pathetic.

I thought you said you were a Venture Capitalist from Delaware with a giant house and a Lexus?

Or were you just fukking around and trolling?

But I generally agree with you.

Man I ain't no damned venture capitalist. All the stories I tell on here happen to real people I either know or me myself. ..I am in the market for a Lexus. 2017

. Honestly, I would recommend anyone here to get their passport, get some savings together and have a destination in mind that you will go to as this country starts to take its downward tilt.

The rest of the world is just as fukked up

Im glad I am a Millenial... We will end up evolving and becoming far more creative in the way we make a living for ourselves and rebuild this country in the long run...We will innovate, I just know it. Obviously the entitled non talented ones will get left behind

It's the only way sink or swim...

I agree with this. fukk blame, the very nature of systems are to boom and bust. We're seeing entire industries die out because they weren't willing to evolve. If you have the mindset of being fluid, using your talent (not just your degree) and thinking outside of the norm, you'll land on your feet. Our generation is the most exciting, because more than blood, sweat and tears, creativity is king.

We live in a time where it's becoming increasingly possible to make a job out of whatever you want to do in life. That's freedom, and looking into the rear view mirror at what previous generations did and trying to replicate it keeps you in the box.

I see their point.

Truth be told, Baby Boomers = Worst generation ever.

They somehow COMPLETELY ignore the massive privilege they had when they were younger (inheriting an economy where you could come out of high school and get a well-paying factory job like it wasn't shyt) and then call us "entitled" for not wanting to work at McD's forever. I think finding a good job was so much easier when they were coming up that they assume there's something wrong anybody who's unemployed or working a low-wage job or that they don't want to be there. Anybody interested should look up the "Old Economy Steven" meme, pretty much ethers them.

@Serious
baby boomers should be should be put to death via the way people are in the short story The Lottery in mass.


old economy steve or whatever the meme is, always makes me laugh

 

[Wild self]

@ this. This shyt is what pisses me off. Boomers had everything and think that kids today must be like them with a fraction of the economic power.

 

[Remote]

I suspect that millenials are those who have come of age in the past decade.
If that's true, then yes, they do suck.

This is the generation responsible for Lil Wayne, Drake, Nicki Minaj and Coldplay.

The point is to be FLUID. If it's not popping here, you have to have your business together to where you can get up and go to where the opportunities are. Empires wax and wane. They boom and they bust. The intelligent know to leave when the ship starts sinking. They know to get in the life boat and sail off well BEFORE the titanic hits the iceberg, which they can see in the distance, but everyone else is ignoring.

I need that mug.

Niigga mugs? Any coli-preneurs on here need to create the whole line. Mugs, T-Shirts, Boxers, Wallets, Jackets, Hats, Toothbrushes, everything.

This could be a lifestyle brand.

While I agree that these are awful people (baby boomer parents dropped the ball), I don't buy the whole rant about not being able to find jobs because of laziness or some over abundance of humanities degrees. Your criticism only applies to a small portion of the youth.

We will definitely be the first generation in America to have less wealth than our parents. Majority of it this is due to systematic things

1. stressing the importance of a college degree while ignoring trades and entrepreneurship
2. Boomers not knowing financial literacy
3. Corporations and Banks having more rights than any individual human
4. Outsourcing of jobs
5. Hyper-capitalism created a market for meaningless, low wage jobs that make the economy appear to function above where it actually is...
6. Integrating social media and technology into our social/cultural sphere has created tons of bubbles that are going to burst soon enough (useless apps selling for 100s of millions)
7. Cities, which were normally the place the young and creative went, have become havens for the disgustingly rich, foreign and old.
8. Wealth inequality is the largest it's ever been in history. Productivity has significantly outpaced wages.
9. Universities have become overfunded and thus have morphed into corporations

With that said, Americans live a privileged life but the goal is always to move forward and never backwards.



Believe it or not, the 70s, 80s and 90s were easier for upward mobility. I'm sure the requirement to become a doctor these days are 10 fold what anyone during that time period went through, not to mention exponentially more expensive.

Though our parents and grandparents didn't have it "easy," it ain't looking good, today, for us.

Reminds me of this article that ironically a client and "soccer mom" of mine posted up: http://www.huffingtonpost.com/Mickey-goodman/are-we-raising-a-generati_b_1249706.html

Good Article.

Unfortunately, I see a bit of myself in that--Millennial born from Generation X parents.

I shouldn't have gone to college and should have learned a trade. And I was taught that I couldn't "fail" and grew up in a "no-risk-allowed" environment.

That "no chance for failure" pisses me off about school in America. That shyt just kills your humanity and makes you into a slave that constantly stressing about work/ school for all of your living days.

I see what you're saying. It's kind of shame that that's the environment that seems to have become the norm. I've even tried to teach my older niece about how life works and she's 10. I'm helping her learn how to ride a bike, and even on the basic level, I tell her that it's okay to fall, even a lot, and hurt yourself, but the main thing is that you keep trying. I just hope it sinks in.

Not to say my parents were horrible "over protectors."

But, the problem was; my father worked so hard so that we wouldn't grow up like he did (low income Southern family with a bunch of siblings), that he forgot pressure makes diamonds as well as bust pipes.

Too much "MAKE A's, B's" & "YOU GOING TO COLLEGE." But, no "you need to socialize, more" or "you need to play a sport" or "you need to do something after school." All he cared about was us studying and staying home.

Granted, my parents got divorced and he just couldn't run as all around and hold down a job by myself. I can't blame him for that.

But, the problem is; he's still doing it (leaning on college degrees and getting corporate jobs, but, not gaining actual skills) to my high school senior aged sibling.

Our parents got to understand; in the new economy, the jobs are disappearing, not being created.

The number one greatest thing, though; he didn't celebrate holidays and we were never taught to be materialistic. Yes, my dad is the classic cheap black man .

He's semi-retired and had a great career, but; he's gotta understand he didn't get those things being coddled and made afraid to take risk in life.

Yea

A D or F isn't going to ruin your life. Fact is; those A's and B's ain't gonna pay the bills, either.

Our generation, with our kids or future kids, needs to undo this reliance on institutions and their products and go to the good thing our parents did; networking and socializing.

Cuz, the economy isn't comin' back. We are going to have to learn to survive with less. Yes, it's unfortunate we were raised on high expectations, but; we're old enough to know better. Times have changed.

That's a good thing you're doin'. I can't imagine the state of society when 10y.o. come of age.

My pop was the same way too. All that schooling that you do against your own free will, can drive you nuts. And the worst part about it, is that creativity is frowned upon for a chance JUST to make over minimum wage.
