If Baby boomers and Gen X ruined this country

Why do they act as if Millennials are the problem? They bought things they couldn't afford. Borrowed money from their future children and grandchildren. They had good paying jobs with great benefits without needing a formal education yet didn't save any money, which is why they are still working. Their generation put the laws in place that they despise. Yet they blame Millennials for the worlds problems. When we have to work 5 times as hard as they ever did. High school diplomas can get you nothing more than a job at McDonalds which isn't a livable wage. We put our selves through college by burying our selves in depth just to get a decent paying job. That before you are even qualified for you need to intern for free for several years for an entry level position. Even after all of that you can barely afford to buy and home and car. Due to the generations before us short term thinking they didn't save their money. So they still have the jobs we need. While our generation has done everything to help the world from helping the enviroment, improving the rights of others, social awarnes, and fixing the mess the past generation left behind while they sit back and complain.

Waaaaahhhhhh

Gen X didn't make this mess. Our kids, the post millenials, will probably be the ones to clean it up.

Do we need to get you a safe space?
Posted on 8/24/16 at 9:49 pm to 504ByrdGang
Millenials really have helped the environment or improve rights or social awareness. You've only complained about it like a whiny little SJW bitch.
Of course this isn't all Millenials. Just the ones that make posts like yours.

A few days ago you said you were glad that all the racists in South LA got flooded and lost everything.
You call that doing everything to help?
frick you

Boo fricking hoo, buttercup. Life sucks and it's hard. Quit your bitching, stop acting like a whiny limp-wristed pussy, and get your sorry, lazy arse up and deal with it.
Here is a newsflash.
1. This world doesn't owe you jack shite.
2. If you want anything you're going to have to earn it.
3. If things in your life suck, nobody is going to fix it for you.
Grow the frick up.

Please. I'm X, have been in the work force 16 years and the day I stepped into it I was more prepared and more brave than you'll ever be. I moved from BR to Silicon Valley to work my way up from the bottom. Had degrees in physics and ond in applied physics (MS EE), but I took a project engineer position at UL writing procedures for cooking appliances. I've worked all sorts of positions and currently work on the road doing fracture mechanics as an ME and fricking put in more hours than any of you pussies will. I hear it, "I deserve more money because I see the average online and you're not paying me that." Really, really, really? You want my salary even though you don't know shite. I could work circles around you in 5 different jobs, what can you do?

I'm 28, my fiancé is 27 and our combined income is about 170k. We do well. She drives a '97 jeep with 102k miles (yes 102k from '97 is legit, idk how) and I drive a 2010 accord with 104k miles. We still rent and are saving up a hefty downpayment for a house. Learned from the generation before me that material shite is not worth it. It's crazy how many 40 and 50 somethings are still in frickin brand new Tahoes with their 5k a month mortgage.
The American Dream, I guess.

Boomers did frick this country up, but my generation isn't doing itself any favors. The snowflakes are a minority, but they're the most vocal too. The snowflake bullshite came from a combination of shitty professors and social media echo chambers. Gen X fricked up parenting too
