re: A large chunk of the leftist Millennial generation is TOAST

My biggest problem lies in a system in which I break my back and bust my arse for a company even though I see all of my coworkers skating. You know why? Because my work ethic tells me that it doesn’t matter what I’m doing, I want to do a good job. So I did for a while because I just knew it would pay off. My supervisor told me how big of an asset I was, how having me around has actually boosted morale, and how I actually SAVED THEM nearly $10,000 in labor by taking on additional role. I did this because it was going to pay off. So raises came around and you knew what they threw me? 50. fricking. Cents. $20 extra dollars a week was what my hard work, dependability, and sweat were worth. I told them how pissed I was and they came back with an additional 70 cent raise. They told me to keep it quiet, and told me how big of an exception it was. I was made to feel like I should just be thankful to have a job

So maybe I’m misunderstanding you somewhere along the lines, but from this comment, i gather that you felt like you deserved a bigger raise than your coworkers because you busted your arse while they skated? If so, I would agree with you here. Most people probably would. (Even though apparently after receiving a larger raise than everyone else, you still weren’t satisfied because it wasn’t as much as you “expected.”-but that’s a whole nother matter)

Then i read this subsequent comment from you which left me scratching my head:

The idea that one person deserves a better life than others because they are good at making shareholders money is absolutely bananas.

Isn’t this the complete opposite of what your previous post insinuated? Seems like you’re proposing that those in higher level executive/ management positions shouldn’t be making more than those in the positions below them, while simultaneously suggesting that you should be making more than your coworkers who are in equal or lesser positions.

Do you think a hospital should pay the janitor the same amount they pay their neurosurgeon?? If we were to make college free for everybody, does that mean that someone with a doctors degree should make the same as another person who got their degree in gender studies? Surely you don’t believe this is a viable idea?

This thread is filled with sad 20 somethings just coming grips with their poor decisions. Daddy govt ain’t gonna swoop in and save you.

College wasn't "free" - ever, you are the ones that want to live in a resort for 4-5 years, get free public transportation and have someone hold your hand and help you make decisions. Where is the money for your generation's luxury accommodations supposed to come from?

So you're saying a degree in gender transitioning studies, or carbon justice, isn't just as worthy in our economy as one in medicine or software development?

---

You are actually asking this question?

These shitheads who get such crappy degrees should have great difficulties.

That's what are called "object lessons" for anybody else planning to waste the government's or mom and dad's money on such costly and wasteful self-indulgences.

It's hilarious that so many people on the right believe in the swamp/deep state and also in the holy grail of trickle-down that those same swampers support

hahahahahahahahahahaha

You think these assholes who tried to take down Trump are bigtime supply-siders?

Brennan is a fricking Communist for Christ's sakes.

There is a reason these assholes hated Reagan as much as they hate Trump.

Jesus fricking Christ what a moron

There are more than enough kids in the 12-20 age that have a completely opposite worldview than what you have embraced that I am not to concerned with your generation of crybabies.

I could die a happy man if I believed that - it is encouraging that there are those who believe it though - and I hope to live long enough to see it happen.

thanks for the hope.

Grow up son.

I’m a millennial (born in 87) and this is my opinion. It’s not the governments job to ensure equal outcomes. It’s to provide for equal opportunity. You want to provide equal opportunity how about remove affirmative action which judges someone SOLEY on the color of someone’s skin.

You want equal opportunity how about you quit subsidizing bad decisions like children out of wedlock and children before you’re financially stable.

You want equal opportunity? Quit dismissing any and all consequences for poor decision making.

And it’s not the government’s job to teach you how to set yourself up in life. That’s your family’s, community’s, or churches job.

It’s the federal governments job to ensure infrastructure is intact to best facilitate commerce between states, protect our borders from other sovereign nations and invaders, and to negotiate international trade deals. THATS IT

if he's pissed about his pay being equal to the slouch's, he doesn't know it, but he's going to hate the socialism for which he advocates.

What skills do you have that could get you out of a factory/production/warehouse role? Honest questions. Hard work and the desire to do better because it’s the right thing to do is what we need more of in this country.

My suggestion to you is to look elsewhere and find a new employer that appreciates/rewards you
