Also reverse the Age Discrimination in Employment Act. You should definitely be able to be fired for being too old. As a tech consultant, I can tell you Boomers are by far the worst client because they pay you to change stuff just to fight every change to their ancient practices.

lolwut?
Instead, they are doing the exact same fricking thing but on steroids.
The parents of millennials absolutely hold blame for buying in to and then carrying out the stupidity. But, the only way it will change is if it stops getting repeated.

This Is what scares me about millennials.
51% say they prefer socialism to capitalism, but when presented with options they picked a free market approach not understanding the label
Only 16% could actually define it, compared to closer to 50% of the rest of us
They seem easily duped by labels and not very knowledgeable of Econ and civics

I'm a constant learner. Even at age 51, I would say I'm miles ahead in terms of technology than the average 31 year old. But, it's also true that many of my peers feel like the world owes it to them to cater to their lack of continuous learning.
I've no sympathy for them. There's nothing inherently difficult about staying up to date on the innovations within your own work environment.

This is what is known as drinking the poison and hoping it kills the other guy.
I mean, do what you like but if you choose the above path, I'll be dead. You'll still have to live with the results.

right a mid 30's person did not become an adult in post 9/11. they were adults, while young adults, they were adults.
I really hope your job doesn’t rely on reading comprehension... on more time, with feeling:

stated on this thread, on average, we grew up during the internet revolution and became adults in a security theater post-9/11 world.
Based on the dates given earlier, Millenials were born between 81 and 96. That has them between 20 and 5 in the year 2001. Which means, once again, we Millenials, on average, became adults in a post 9/11 world.
Admit that you misread what I wrote and move on. This is getting silly.

How do you explain the decrease in violent crime?
What age is it where people start thinking "bah those dirty kids are going to run this country into the ground"?

Messed up my reply. I agree with your point about it not being age but desire to stay relevant. My anecdotal evidence is that 90% of my worst client have been boomers. Usually the ones that didn’t progress enough to make the decisions.

Mass incarceration, unfortunately
It's been rising these past 3 years though

And before you whine about me saying that......that reality is also a counter to conservatives who claim extra policing or harsher sentencing caused the reduction.
