Millionaire slams feckless, molly-coddled youngsters who live off the bank of mum and dad.

The millionaire lifestyle guru Martha Stewart has issued a stinging criticism of the millennial generation and claimed youngsters are too LAZY to get ahead.

Too many members of “Generation Snowflake” are still living with their parents rather than getting out into the world and making something of their lives, the celebrity businesswoman raged.

She is the latest person to rail against a mollycoddled generation who have turned universities into “safe spaces” to avoid testing their ideas in the crucible of debate and called on conference attendees to “make jazz hands” because clapping is too traumatic for their sensitive souls.

generation job-shy Millennials are lazy, self-indulgent and lack the initiative to be successful, warns lifestyle guru Martha Stewart ( Full title ).

I can’t disagree with the title. There are exceptions, sure, but as a whole...? Yep.

Leftist education and immorality today.. Any Millennial who rises above this modern day crap indoctrination deserves a reward and their parents too.

Yes, I had to look up that term also, and was about to post the same picture as the one you have on the left. I also loved the Generation Snowflake reference, and followed the link as well.

Sadly it is so true.

British thinktank boss says mollycoddled kids are breaking down in tears when asked to deal with controversial ideas.

The real problem: they’re poorly educated and deplorably ignorant. So, Martha, it was your generation that put them through school. You reap what you sow.

Stewie Griffin said myspace is a place where everyone posts other peoples’ sayings and other peoples’ music and art so they can be unique.

I was in the tenth grade in 1966 and I wondered “How thick will the history books be in 50 years”. Now I know. Thinner and thinner because they simple leave stuff out.

Hating on Millenials is a NWO/Socialist/Elitist effort to divert attention from themselves and their actions by fomenting tribalism, mistrust and an ‘us against them’ division within society.

American history is pretty simple:

Chris Columbus brought slaves over.

Then Trail of Tears happened.

Then McCarthy was Satan in the flesh.

That’s it.

Deplorably ignorant yet believe themselves to be enlightened and wise. I work with some and they think another co-worker in her forties and I are ignorant and blind. Yet they refuse to even listen to anything we have to say.

Under common core they stop about 1920. It is the damnedest attempt to ignore history you can imagine. It is is insidious rejection of the infinite contribution of the white male to this country. Check it out.

Exactly.

The oldest Mils are in their mid-30’s. Many of them have gone to war and many of them are Trump supporters.

Those over 25 have had a taste of the ‘real world’, matured, and grown into adults with families. My SIL has served our nation for 13 years. My daughter is a mother who’s trying to get her own business off the ground.

Those under 25 are still kids. They’ve got awhile to finish growing up.

I was an idiot in my teens. Less of an idiot in my early 20’s. Pretty darn cool in my 30’s. (Now I’m an absolute rock star, but that’s another story. lol!)

Almost ALL people are dumb under 25. That’s the nature of the beast. Lots of intelligence and book learnin’, but not a lot of experience.

Martha Stewart. What a bit@h. Lots of millenials have fought and died. Most of them didn’t have insider trade information to use like her.

Millenials aren’t perfect. But they were raised in an economy wrecked by the uniparty. You cant exactly go down and get the jobs your dad could.

She was an insider trader. And she lied to an investigator. Stewart ain’t no role model.

Just talked to our mid twenties “step” Nephew and his Girlfriend.

The Girlfriend only has one Semester left to get her College Degree.

They never heard of George Orwell or his Novel’s Animal Farm and 1984. I thought those were required Reading in High School. I even asked about the Novel “The Jungle”, same answer.

I felt at least a Decade Older after talking to them and I’m sure I sacrificed Millions of Brain Cells in the process.

The Girlfriend is a Bernster (she has College Loans of course) and the Nephew is a Trumpster, if they even bother Voting anyway.

Most of my kids’ friends (late 20s & early 30s) love my hubby and me, but a couple of the more rabid liberals among them think we’re stupid and ignorant because we’re against gay marriage, are conservatives, and support Trump instead of Bernie. And here I thought liberals were supposed to be so tolerant, lol.
