re: Millennials earn 20% less than baby boomers did—despite being better educated

Milennials graduate with the highest pct of STEM degrees for any generation ever
Not all STEM drgrees are equal. A BS in anything but a core engineering discipline is worthless. A BS in Chemistry or Mathematics? Good, you can almost teach at the elementary level and earn dick money. My fiancée double majored in biology and chemistry and knew that wasn't enough. Her Ph.D. in molecular/cellular pathology wasn't going to make her much more than $30k/year either. So she got a DMD and then specialized which is what has made her Ph.D. a real income earner as it opened up immediate University faculty positions. Her first job after residency is about $180k/year right now as a newbie public sector employee, private practice is the next step.
Oh, and she did it all without a single dime of student loans.

Boomers didn't live with their parents after age 18 unless they were too retarded for the army or too ugly for the whore house.
That helped them build character so by the time they were 30, they were grown ups whereas most (not all) mills are still children into their late 20's.

You don’t understand it’s because boomers blame all the problems on “millennials” despite the age of people they’re blasting, specifically on this board?

They weren't straddling themselves with debt from useless degrees.

They sure as hell weren't on Tigerdroppings all day in their 30s.

How does debt factor into to the headline?

I am not in construction but work with a lot of industrial contractors.
For the most part under 40 ain't worth shite as workers even if they can pass a drug screen and 3rd grade comprehension reading level test (both for safety reasons)

So, in short, boomers benefited off the success of their parents by getting jobs in a booming post war economy with no education, and have since hoarded more and more of their money, creating one of the biggest wealth gaps observed in modern history.
Dude, you so full of shite thinking this or came from a broken home.
I am a boomer and gave everything to my two kids. I knew we couldn't afford more kids even after we were told to just add more water to the gravy. We did without a lot for our kids. So piss off. 
Oh. bet your Mom and Dad have real pride in you. Guess you have your hand sticking out right now.

Are you 100% sure your wife hasn’t had a couple Millennial dicks in her mouth?

Yeah when they were young, business was booming and there were more opportunities than people. Now that things are different, businesses must be more diligent with their money, you know it costs more than just wages to hire someone right? A business needs to get a return on its investments or it can choose to invest in something with a better return than employing people

What do you mean they’re hoarding money?
Again, do you want them to keep it (no), spend it (no), or give it away (apparently no)? So what do you want them to do with it, bleed it away on employee wages that can’t give them a good return?

Oh and once these millennials' baby boomer parents die, they inherit that wealth.
They will come out better in a decade.

It's not shock, academia is flooded with foreign Ph.D candidates and post-doc researchers. They work slave hours and for very little money.
