The boomers get partial blame on this for raising this generation. But this is a completely un-serious country right now, and the millenials are the ones driving the clown car.

The biggest concerns for millenials are tranny bathrooms and student loan payback.

A lot of millennials went to college simply to party and f*ck off, get a useless degree, and then live with mommy and daddy until age 30, before they move out to an apartment and get a dog (this is called adulting). Where they work some zoom job on a computer all day, hang out at breweries, and watch Netflix. If they get married, not until late 30s or 40s, and no kids.

Why would someone with this lifestyle care about things like China, the border, civil liberties, manufacturing jobs, independent energy, or safe neighborhoods? They have the luxury to place stupid shite high on the priority list, it gives them a purpose in life. And it fricks everyone else including their own future.

I want to own a house, yet the hosing market has outpaced salaries. I want to open my own business, but there a billions of barriers to entry, and I want to have good health care but that got fricked up too. I will agree a lot of millenials are insane, but we have also been dropped into a world where our parents could buy nice houses working 40 hours a week at a car factory.

Millenial here, trying to buy a house...not as easy as it sounds, especially if you live in a densely populated area.


Millenials suck but they walked into a shitty situation. They didn't vote for government backed student loans they didn't vote for regulation that creates thousands of layers of bureaucracy for businesses.

Sorry that I’m not rushing to buy a $350,000 townhome and send my kid to a public school. It takes time to be financially secure enough to raise a family in a big metro area.

I figure it's more Gen Xers who've raised Millennials. Am I wrong on that?

There's some overlap but I think Gen Xers are mostly responsible for Gen Z

Boomers -> Millenials
Gen X -> Gen Z
Millenials -> Gen Alpha

Correct, they did. Hoping to fix a problem the Biden ilk created.

I still think that everything was fine until social media came along. Facebook and Twitter have ruined society and whatever sense of community there once was.

Everyone just puts on an act now, it's all a façade, everything is fake. The role that big tech/mainstream media/social media had played in the downfall of society cannot be overstated enough. People are being programmed to become degenerate from a young age. Our values are being constantly undermined by the shite kids are exposed to on tv and on the various media platforms they consume.

Rip the the fricking tv and internet out of your house if you have kids.

While I agree with what the OP wrote to an extent, I have plenty of millennial friends (well, not friends, I'm too old but people I know from Church, University Alumni Club, Volunteer Ambulance corps, etc., who are) and for every spoiled poop-head you have a 29 year old working too many hours in an hospital so he can become a full time doctor or working 100 hours a week to become a law partner.

There may be many MORE of the lay about types now, but to say no work ethic exists just isn't true. Half of my local National Guard unit is millenials.

You said this in jest…and I lol’d. But from an electoral standpoint, rich, never-worked-a-day-in-their-life white women are the worst thing that has happened to American exceptionalism. Ever.

I have to be honest. I really resent the Boomer and Millennial generations as a whole. Everything you said was true. I do have hope because of folks like yourself. I am blessed that both of my Millennial neighbors are indeed conservative good dudes. They are a rarity and I cherish them for being neighbors.

Get off of twitter. Get off of facebook. This is not reality. The whiny few millenial trigglipuffs are not the majority, nor are they the mainstream of thought. Most millenials just want what every other generation wanted at their age: a steady job, a safe neighborhood to raise their kids, decent schools to send their kids to, and the ability to affordably see a doctor when they're sick or injured. Unfortunately, the world they inhabit is not the one their parents and grandparents had.

The requirements to get a job have never been higher. The degree and experience asks are higher, they're drug tested for completely legal and socially accepted substances, they're subjected to idiological purity tests based on every statement they have ever made, paid less when adjusted for inflation than any other generation since WWI, face higher government barriers to entry into the market than in any other time in American history, face an addiction/overdose epidemic due to being prescribed drugs they were told were safe and are thrown in prison for seeking treatment, are committing suicide in record numbers due to basically having their basic liberties stripped away in the prime of their lives while being left jobless and penniless, and are saddled with more debt to attain basic education and housing than any other generation.

They are the first generation in America being squeezed out of the middle class by our corporate oligarchic/socialist government elite. While they do not always pick the proper targets for their outrage, they are definitely righteously and justifiably pissed. Stop blaming them and start hiring them, red-pilling them, and get them pointed at the real targets.

Depends on where you are. Housing markets and barriers to open a business vary based on where you live. Generations before went where the opportunities were. And those car factories moved south into areas where they still afford workers the opportunity to buy nice houses. Problem with a lot of millennials is they want what they want but only where they want it.

Yes. My kids are all Z's. Boomers spawned mostly Millennials. My parents were silent generation. Not all but as a rule. There are a ton of Xennials out there and I also place blame on them for the starting the participation trophy society.

Could always work for the Federal gov't. BCBS FEP is pretty damned solid and less than $200/month.

You can too.

Back then, a nice house was a 3/2 Ranch on a quarter acre lot. You can do that today working an in-demand blue color job with zero college debt.
