re: Why Are Millennials So Different?

A few thoughts:

Millennials can't help it, really. They have been fed bullshite for their whole lives.

The bullshite-feeders are the Baby Boomers, I will admit that. The Greatest Generation tried their damndest to head this off at the pass in the 1950s, but television, movies and dope was just too much to overcome. They could whip the Krauts and the Japs, but not sex, violence and dope peddled by Hollywood.

Social Security *might* be OK if they (they being Baby Boomers) didn't expand it to include fatasses and whacked-out depressed folks on disability. Medicare would be OK if the government didn't frick up the healthcare industry, but Medicare is how they got their camel nose into the tent, so to speak. Medicaid is an unmitigated disaster. Social Security's money has been stolen and replaced with IOUs, so the taxpayer will essentially be on the hook twice.

This shite was lost in the late 60s through the 70s. It was over by the 1980s, but we didn't know it yet.

Enjoy your shite sandwich, America. You deserve it.
