Nuclear War isn't scary, in my opinion, unless you live somewhere on the fringes of a blast zone where you'll have to limp away from the holocaust that follows.
If we're ever in a nuclear war, every major city will be nothing but a blast zone and the whole country will be full of radiation.
Growing up in the 70's, most people didn't expect to grow old.

You do realize this never went away, right? Thankfully, my generation was prepped by endless movies and video games about post-apocalyptic zombie and nuclear wastelands.
Like I said, if you live near a nuclear target, getting vaporized isn't stressful. Existence just ends, and there is nothing you can do about it. You don't have to worry about instantaneous death. If you're in a rural area, you don't worry about it because you already have a stocked pantry, ample ammunition, and grow much of your own food. Nuclear strike is only scary for the suburbs where you might limp away only to freak out because you don't have running water, supermarket with quinua in stock, and electricity. No running water or electricity was an average Tuesday in my household growing up. That shite's not scary to me.
I am scared shitless over not being able to pay my bills, not being able to land a good job, over-extending myself, losing my current job, etc. There are real consequences both financially and socially that don't end instantly but linger for years or even decades.
If you live in a city, nuclear war is like being a bomb tech. Either you cut the right wire or it's suddenly not your problem anymore.
I understand exactly what you’re saying. But I’m telling you that is not how the vast majority of the people at that time thought about it.

Another hit job on the young. Not fair because everyone in their 20's don't understand all the advantages they have in their time. But no doubt things are easier nowadays.
I'm in my 60's and my dad was born in the 1920's and to hear his stories is mind boggling. Imagine if you wanted chicken you had to go in the back of the house and catch one of your chickens and wring it's neck, pluck it, and hand it to mom. That's what they did.
Their numbered list of concerns :
Food
Shelter
Food
War
Food
Jobs and money
Food
The great depression
Food
etc...

4. Losing phone
There was a story on here about a guy on a business trip that lost his phone and wallet. He did not have a single phone number memorized, he had to get somewhere with internet access, get a main number for his company then connect to his home office, and have them get his wife's phone number.

That guy is a moron.

Yeah that’s pretty bad. I don’t have hardly any phone numbers memorized. But I do know my wife’s number.

Before cell phones, I had everyone's memorized. I could call any of my friends' landline at any time.
Now I know my immediate family and my wife's and that's it. You've got to be a special stupid to not know your spouse's number by heart.

Never met a kid who had this happen to them. But most of us worked for stuff we wanted.
Money was tight, if you wanted it, you worked for it.

That's how bad it was back then. They had to buy Chinese knock-off flags that didn't even have the full 50 stars on it!

Many feel their overall stress level is caused by the accumulation of daily micro-stressors — seemingly trivial experiences — such as being stuck in traffic, waiting for appointments, or various smartphone issues.

Millennials need to watch some GD WWII documentaries...
Posted on 3/18/19 at 1:47 pm to Geauxnoose
Yeah...those are some pretty harrowing scenarios
Posted on 3/18/19 at 1:47 pm to Geauxnoose
So nobody in here gives a shite that this article/"poll" is completely fake clickbait? As long as it reaffirms your preconceived notions I guess.
What's far more depressing than anything milennials can do is how fricking stupid people are.

Today I view school bullying as a positive part of my youth, and I was one of those being bullied. Yea, it probably screwed up a few kids for life, but everyone else learned to ignore most of it, fight back when necessary, and just generally be more resilient to the idiots of the world.
