Millennials face drastic cuts to quality jobs, a massive student debt problem, and have grown up in an age of constantly evolving technology. Do you believe that millennials will be able to turn it around and set the next generation up better?
Yes: if they will realize that free market capitalism is robbing them shipping jobs overseas and relying upon slavery, meaningless work contracts etc. Unlikely they or technology or education can ever compete with that. Meanwhile underemployment.
They are actually stuck paying for free market capitalist greed. Don't believe the hype. You cannot overcome slave labor and wholesale export of even quality jobs overseas. Note that even high skill work goes overseas now. Example: Apple and China.
I'm well aware of job growth over seas, and the problems it has caused. But most Baby Boomer's were sold on the whole 'buying things on credit' scam and their children are the ones suffering from it. I know this first hand, not from "hype".
They're not part of our generation. Morbid as it is, current politicians will almost all be dead in 40 years with a majority from our generation. So it'll certainly be physically changed up, hopefully mentally as well.
The challenges faced by each generation change, but the broad story does not. The delineation between "generations" that leads to terms like "baby boomers", "Gen-X”, "millennials", etc is arbitrary. It's a continuum, and generally improving.
Healthcare is making impossible for older people to retire. Therefore they are staying in their jobs longer than they normally would. Unless healthcare cost comes down,which I don't see, be prepared to wait for a job.
Just as a side note, and it can't just be me noticing this... The 21-40 and 50k-100k groups are consistently the most cynical and negative. What's wrong? Y'all need a hug? C'mon, bring it in... -opens arms-
Yeah, under 21s. I'm pretty sure Hayley is going on, I heard mattwall1, MrLucchese, and PuppyLvr (might've misspelled the last) might. Should be interesting nonetheless.
Nah, I might next week. I'ma ask my friends if someone got a laptop/webcam I could use cause I'm just working with an iPod at the moment. I plan to go on eventually though, assuming they'll have me.
I disagree Kermie. Libertarian principles aren't elitist. It's giving everyone a chance to succeed or fail on their own merit. Financial freedom will allow charitable people to help those who fail or are under bad circumstances.
Sorry, but that's so incredibly naive of the way the world actually works. The idea of "merit" itself is elitist, propagated by the elites who keep everyone else down and then pretend they can't make it because of their merit.
Naive? It's untested... Name one country that's exhibited libertarian principles. You can't. We've always lived under a relatively large state whether it came in one form or another. It's naive to say something doesn't work when it hasn't been tried.
I just put turn it around and set the next generation up better because I think it'd be nothing short of a Rudy type miracle for them to totally flip these issues around. Obviously, the people themselves aren't wholly responsible, this is basically
