I remember an old divorce lawyer telling me that the accusing spouse was always guilty of the accusation.

Ponder that.

Bruh, you have done nothing but reject reality when it is staring at you in the face in this thread with your bullshite anecdotes.

You are 100% burying your head in the sand, boomer.

Even though I've been proven wrong categorically at every turn.

Exactly the sort of critical thinking I’ve come to expect from your generation.

Maybe it’s not all your fault. You were told you were special. You learned debate in echo chambers.

So maybe you are right. Maybe the system made you weak and ineffectual.

and you sound like a stereotypical boomer

Devastating retort.

Is that really all ya got? You should quit.

and my generation was dealt a much shittier hand than the two before it

Yeah. I've made a variation of your point in threads over the past couple of years and they just refuse to acknowledge it.

The 2008 Financial Crisis and then Covid couldn't have been timed worse for millennials. It all starts there.

Maybe. So what’s your response?

Sounds like y’all are folding rather than gutting it out.

Just like you were a product of unprecedented opportunity and circumstance the millennials will be subject to the same forces.

Geopolitics, government policy, demographic shifts, etc. will all play a heavy role.
It's safe to say a consumer-based economic system isn't going to work with the coming global demographic apocalypse.

That demographic apocalypse is why Russia is invading Ukraine right now, it's why China plans to invade Taiwan. It's sort of their last hurrah before the bottom totally falls out. The same collapse will occur in 90% of the world, and its why even Larry Fink of Blackrock says globalism is over.


No more world economy on the boomer scale, no more selling shite to 1 billion Chinese, no more dirt cheap manufacturing in southeast Asia or China.

All of the manufacturing that boomers outsourced for pennies is no longer going to be possible with the new order coming forth.


If you don't believe me just pay attention to the news to see all of the new manufacturing facilities re-locating to the US and Mexico.

Why is that happening? Because the US cant guarantee supply chain stability on the other side of the world with the locals getting aggressive. Boomers never had to deal with that squeeze, they whole world and its many resources at their fingertips the entire time. Plenty of resources and access to cheap manufacturing to make whatever the boomers wanted, and plenty of people to market to.

LOL @ this thread on the OT, a place likely most active among disengaged "quiet quitters" who spend time on here while at work.

---

No doubt, the two posters in this thread complaining the most have over a half million posts between them.

Sounds like they’ve been quiet quitters since entering the work force.

I think the following quote sums up the reality of it all-

“Hard times create strong men, strong men create good times, good times create weak men, and weak men create hard times.”

Ponder that.

Yes, I'll ponder that as you call this generation lazy and entitled.

I feel for the medium and older millennials. They were dealt a shittier hand than someone like me who is in the youngest age group of the generation

Coming into the workforce during 08 must have sucked
