It's been said that eventually you run out of other people's money. Today's young people are the "other people".
Exactly.
My son is 15.
He follows Fox and the Market.
Total conservative.
Thinks his classmates are all retarts.
Has a group of conservative friends.
He carried a 3.97.
Plays marching Sax and concert Obo.
Brilliant little fkr.
And who are these angry millennials voting for?
“...wealthier, right-leaning baby boomers and the remaining members of the so-called Silent Generation will once again swamp them at the polls.”
Damn Skippy we will.
Now you kids get back to get back to work! ;)
Living together instead of being married, and especially having children out of wedlock, contributes to worse life outcomes for both adults and children. Illegitimacy is 40% nationally. The breakup of the family for Boomers and failure to form new ones for their children is tied to worse life outcomes for all involved.
Families are the real issue for opportunity, not inequality

Monogamy reduces major social problems of polygamist cultures

Says one of the people who HELPS create the "conflict."
So why do they keep voting for Democrats?
They are just as much to blame.
That is it, in a nutshell! My two went to Tech college. They are gainfully employed and not living in my basement.
(And they never will be!)
that’s about right except a good trade takes about two years and if you get in a union apprenticeship program you are debt free. The unions are looking hard for folks as people are are not as interested in real work as they use to be. When I was young you had to know someone to get an apprentice position, not anymore.
Good for him!
Millennials largely made the decision of affluent children to study acting or women’s studies or whatever they felt would help to actualize themselves at expensive private colleges because they were indulged by Boomer parents with plentiful resources and relatively few children to divide them among.
Surely it is not the fault of another generation if those grads don’t find the job market as easily rewarding as has been 30 years on their Boomer parents’ dime.
My millennial daughters are all doing quite well (better than Mom and Dad), thank you, because they selected universities without high price tags and took on minimal student loan debt. They also chose courses of study which produced degrees which are actually marketable and married men who did the same.
One of my sons-in-law actually skipped college altogether and went into a vocational trade where he gets his hands dirty but brings home a bigger paycheck than most college graduates. Imagine that!?
They should find solace in the “fact” that climate change will kill them before they get old and need those retirement savings.
My first job was in a recession and the pay was lousy. I did it because I had to get work experience. I didn’t blame the greatest generation for my problems. It didn’t even occur to me!
