Kudos to this young man for not only recognizing the problem, but for providing solutions:

"Action item one: Stop blaming everybody. Don’t blame the big banks, don’t blame your mom...By absolving ourselves of responsibility, we’ve become forever 8-year-olds, tattling on the world in hopes it will better our situation. It won’t. It will only make it crummier."
"Action item two: Stop being so insular...you’ve curated your social media accounts — where most of your interaction takes place — to be in total agreement with your opinions."
"Action item three: Stop waiting around for something big to happen. Getting a job is hard. Filling out a million online forms isn’t enough. Primping your LinkedIn and hoping your God-given greatness will finally be recognized by everybody else like your grandma always said it would will get you zip, zilch, zero. You need to leave your apartment, meet people, be assertive, interested, open. I’ve gotten full-time jobs by sitting at bars and dancing at wedding receptions."

The following applies to every American no matter the age and needs to be repeated to the nth degree. "Stop blaming everybody. Don’t blame the big banks, don’t blame your mom...By absolving ourselves of responsibility, we’ve become forever 8-year-olds, tattling on [or whining about] the world in hopes it will better our situation. It won’t. It will only make it crummier."

There’s nothing wrong with talking about what’s wrong, if we don’t stop there and act all superior for simply having said it. This tune doesn’t get sung just among the millennials. It is common on FR.

The bible has good advice. First of all to believe on the Lord Jesus Christ and be saved, but after that we may ask the Lord for wisdom which will be given “without reproach.” God isn’t into a lot of blaming today (the devil does just fine there), but into setting things right through His love, inasmuch as we will accept it. It takes a whole life to learn to accept it.
