Millennials Are Destroying The Status Quo And Why We Should Help Them Do It Read more: http://www.a
Why are we constantly being told that Millennials, that generation coming of age right now, suck? It’s pretty simple, actually: They represent a VERY different future from the status quo and the people in charge don’t like that idea. Not at all.
I was out at party a while ago, listening to some people in their 40s talk about hiring millennials, and how they are all entitled. This is the word that comes up over and over. After a certain number of minutes into the conversation (10? 15? I’m a pushover) I found myself agreeing that, yes, 25-year-olds are just doing drugs in their parents’ basement because they hate the mere idea of working. Meth, probably. At least Adderall. Probably something stolen out of their parents’ medicine cabinets because those unemployed losers can’t get money to buy their own drugs to fuel their Lena Dunham-esque sex romps. “I’m like you,” I wanted to say, “by which I mean I am an employed non-meth addict.”
And that’s just what people at a party think. Journalists think we’re much worse. Wall Streeters bemoan that only 32 percent of millennials consider themselves entrepreneurial (compared to 41 percent of Gen-Xers, and 45 percent of baby boomers). Time thinks we’re narcissists. The Christian Science Monitor is nervous that “ The Millennial Generation Could Kill the NFL” – because, sissies that we are, we really don’t like seeing people suffer long-term brain damage. Meanwhile, the New York Times says — more or less every week — that we probably don’t have much of a shot in the real world.

In the next 20 years there is going to be a massive social revolution and this time it won't be stopped. As the Reagonomics folks grow older, and the Millennials take over things are going to change. What we need to focus on right now is keeping Democrats in power so the Right Wing can't do anything to stop the revolution. Its not going to be easy to the establishment is going to fight tooth and nail but in the end we will succeed.
