M's are 3 generations removed from the Greatest Generation. That was the last generation that did any real heavy lifting in America.

M's have no concept of frugality, sacrifice and diligence.

The Two preceding generations, the Boomers (that's me) and the X’ers also had little conception of those values.

The curse of inherited wealth has magnified with each generation, producing a less able and less resilient citizen at each level.

M's are being prepared for slaughter, just like the “Eloi” in HG Wells classic “Time Machine.” Plenty of “Morlocks roaming the planet ready willing and eager to extract blood and tears from the fattened weakened human cattle.

To paraphrase someone who put it far more eloquently than I can — for some inexplicable reason, millennial don't aspire to be the Marlboro Man, they aspire to be pajama boy.

most X’rs I know are doing very well, have good savings and nice homes, and some of these were friends I thought would never make anything of themselves but they still had work ethic and didn’t buy into the social justice/entitlement crap the worthless Millenial snowflakes have. Millenials are hive minded children.

M's have no concept of frugality, sacrifice and diligence.

Why should they, when they know they can vote for politicians who will simply vote to steal from those who did save to pay it.

Actually, you are missing the Silent Generation. They were born old enough to remember the Depression, but too young to fight in the War II. Their claim to fame is always trying to live up to the GG’s accomplishments.

Their war was Korea. They were the young kids in the back of the room during the moon launches.

More than the Greatest Generation, or the boomers, they are responsible for the crap we are in today. Their inferiority complex during their time in the seventies caused us to fail miserably.

They are the only Generation without a President. That is how weak they were as a whole.

(Yes, I know there are plenty of Silents out there who have done wonderful things. We are talking Generations here...The Silents were the parents of late boomers and early X’ers.)

With no disrespect to the “Greatest Generation” I always wonder -

if they WERE the greatest, why did they produce a generation of kids that were so crummy?

I mean it seems to me if they were the “greatest” then their parenting skill would be stellar and their kids would themselves be a great generation, and so on.
