[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]As I read this thread, I ( 6:32) can't help but wonder if the so-called millennial posters (I am thinking some are trolls) think we just scammed what we have?  I worked hard for what I have; other than my parents paying for my education, it was my work ethic and my brain power that got me what I have.  There was no generational entitlement.

Same is true for GenX, the Greatest, and even the millennials.  People that work hard and apply knowledge are the ones who get ahead.

You basically just made our point. You think you got where you are by hard work and brains.  Every generation after you has had to work twice as hard to get where your generation did, be twice as good, and even then, there are so fewer guarantees.

If the PP were a millennial today, they'd be eaten alive.  [/quote]

What a bunch of crap. Boomers got drafted, millennials can sit on the sidelines. Boomer women were really the first to enter the work force opening doors for the next generations while facing a very real glass ceiling and tremendous sexual harassment by the greatest generation. Female millennials would be eaten alive if they suddenly faced what boomer women faced. If not for boomers the environment would be much worse off than it is today accepting that more needs to be done. Boomers developed the businesses (Apple, Microsoft) that spawned opportunities for millennials.

Sadly, many millennials are like the pp - spoiled rotten by their boomer parents.[/quote]

Totally the truth. Boomers especially women change a lot of things so the next generation would have it easier. And they do have it easier but they are resentful that their world is not on a platter.[/quote]
