Oh, they don't need no help not getting jobs. They do just fine with their
gender studies degrees.

I find it amusing that many of the people I know who bag on Millennials are Millennials themselves...

I couldn't help myself, I was going to share this on facebook but I have several friends that are EXACTLY like the video and I didn't want to piss them off. We millenials get offended easily.

"When I was young, we were taught to be discreet and respectful of elders, but the present youth are exceedingly disrespectful and impatient of restraint".
Hesiod, 8th century BC
"What is happening to our young people? They disrespect their elders, they disobey their parents. They ignore the law. They riot in the streets inflamed with wild notions. Their morals are decaying. What is to become of them?"
Plato, 4th Century BC
"The young people of today think of nothing but themselves. They have no reverence for parents or old age. They are impatient of all restraint... As for the girls, they are forward, immodest and unladylike in speech, behavior and dress."
Attributed to Peter the Hermit, AD 1274
From an 1816 issue of the Times of London:
The indecent foreign dance called the Waltz was introduced ... at the English Court on Friday last ... It is quite sufficient to cast one's eyes on the voluptuous intertwining of the limbs, and close compressure of the bodies ... to see that it is far indeed removed from the modest reserve which has hitherto been considered distinctive of English females...[Now that it is] forced on the respectable classes of society by the evil example of their superiors, we feel it a duty to warn every parent against exposing his daughter to so fatal a contagion.
In its July 1859 issue, Scientific American rallied against a wicked game that made both the mind and body weaker—chess:
A pernicious excitement to learn and play chess has spread all over the country, and numerous clubs for practicing this game have been formed in cities and villages...chess is a mere amusement of a very inferior character, which robs the mind of valuable time that might be devoted to nobler acquirements, while it affords no benefit whatever to the body. Chess has acquired a high reputation as being a means to discipline the mind, but persons engaged in sedentary occupations should never practice this cheerless game; they require out-door exercises--not this sort of mental gladiatorship.
Last but not least:
In Book III of Odes, circa 20 BC, Horace wrote:
Our sires' age was worse than our grandsires'. We, their sons, are more
worthless than they; so in our turn we shall give the world a progeny yet more corrupt.

LS, maybe some Kambucha might help. (Alien question mark blushy shrug emoticon)
I was just poking the codgers.
I kept a flock of millennials in a tipi in my yard. True. 4 dudes. The Spray Painter. The BookBinder. The Tatoo Artist. The Health Food Surf Guitarist. You can't make that sh#t up.

Well, Paul, I tend to express disappointment with how my generation of Baby Boomers fell short of expectations, too.
In truth, Gary sums up my views pretty well. It's the nature of growing older to think the younger generation won't measure up, and it's the nature of being younger to think the older generation just doesn't get it.

I've hired two millenials in the last twelve months. They're about as far as it's possible to get from being lazy slackers.

Aren't Millenials the ones graduating with student loan debt up to their ears, and that's why they are busting their humps to keep their profitable jobs in the tech sector?
