America’s ‘toxic’ societal problems are crippling millennials
New York Post ^ | June 6, 2019 | New York Post

Millennials are a mirror that reflect many of society’s problems — or so claims a new report from researchers at Stanford University and other institutions.

The report, published Thursday, examines everything from suicide rates to health to homeownership among millennials in their 20s and 30s.

“Millennials are the first generation to experience in a full-throttled way the social and economic problems of our time,” said sociology professor David Grusky, director of the Stanford Center on Poverty and Inequality.

“These problems are steam-rolling a generation in a special way because they are bearing the brunt of factors like high inequality, declining economic prospects of high school dropouts and a growing education gap.”

-—as one born in 1940, raised on a farm without electricity, having to depend on chopped wood, etc., until I was older , when I had to get a job that supported a family and me, my heart bleeds—

One of the terrible things we do to young people is to say,

"There, there. You're a victim. No one expects you to succeed. It's impossible. Everything is all messed up and hopeless for you. It's mostly Trump's fault, not yours. Don't worry. At least marijuana is mostly legal."

If the Lord tarries much longer we’ll hear of grandparents telling their kids about when the Internet was dial up and people didn’t keep espionage devices (electronic assistants) in their homes.

The richest / healthiest nation in human history (more or less).

Soft, debased, rotten - with no purpose in life except selfish and futile pursuit of pleasure.

You want fulfillment? Serve God and serve people.

And serving people doesn’t mean voting to have the government stick a gun in your neighbors face in order to confiscate their labor and redistribute it.

What nonsense!
Back in 77-82, I was out of work for 4 years.
The line for an interview at Target went around the building.
I knew construction Foreman who were digging ditches as it was the only job they could find.

I remember in ‘82 when I got my first check....
It was like I had discovered Gold.

OMG!!! “High inequality”, for the very first time EVER, in U.S. and world history!!!! NOT!!!!!

There is ALWAYS some forms of “inequality”. Externally imposed it is just a hurdle to be overcome, demonstrating a “difference” the individual is not going to allow to stand in their way. When it is internally derived, it is a consequence of our own abilities and inabilities, our own diligence and lack of diligence, our own perseverance and lack of perseverance, and our willingness or unwillingness to match our expectations to the possible.

Millennials need 2 years in the Marine Corp and forced church attendance.

Except I would not want to do that to the Corp.

Very true. I also tell them.. according to your science god, rejoice in your suffering.. if you wait long enough.. it will bring about a better species. You are just here without purpose, by accident, so what’s the problem?

My dad graduated HS in 1932—right into the teeth of the Great Depression. Hustled pool, played in a band, even mined gold to make ends meet. Managed to get an AA degree. Learned how to fly hoping to be a pilot in AAF. When Depression started to ease, he got WWII thrown at him. His and countless others’ lives were put on hold for more than a decade. Yet Millennials are having it tough? Please.

What a bunch of sissy fags. Try living in London under Nazi bombardment like my grandparents or through the depression like my Father. Losers. Afraid someone might turn off the power to their X-Box or interfere with the texting of an emoji. Self-centered air-sucking commie bitches.

There are no problems, only liberals telling them that everything around and about them is a problem.

Liberals are haters of everything and poison the minds of those that listen to them.

"Millennials are the first generation to experience" adults in 'trust positions' working to scare them to death from first grade through college with BS about global warming. AND how they're all going to die before they can have families of their own.

These kids aren't even having children.

And the generation after them? Suicides for 13 years olds... Remember, when life is so painful over the suicide of a child - you have a liberal to thank...

“Mostly, millennials need a good a$$ kicking.“

The opposite, imho

These kids are the ones who got dumped at day care and are also bombarded with info on sex perversion and left to be raised by the wolves of social media

The problem with millennials is they embrace so much nonsense, a way of looking at life not from reason but “how I feel”.

So they support not only the LGBT crowd, but allowing children to question their sexuality, because they just are unable to apply logic to any issue.
