[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Crash their economy and then condescendingly ask why they're still living with their parents. Hike up the prices on everything, stagnate wages, then blame them for not buying houses. Tell them those student loans will pay off in the long run and the. Destroy the job market. Feign ignorance at your generation's role in income inequality and then act like they're the idiots. Redistribute all the wealth to the top 1% while they're babies and then complain they're commies when they try to redistribute it back. #howtoconfuseamillenial[/quote] To you think this is different than the past? I am a scientist/engineer. When I graduated college (1986), I was offered a job at 24,000. Adjusted for inflation, that is 52K, which is about where people with a BS in my field start today. The god senior people were making between 60-80, which is 140-180 today. Not that different. I graduated without loans -- that is the only significant difference (my daughter will also have no loans). Job Market? not really worse than when I graduated. Different, but not worse. It has always been dependent on the field you are in. Income inequality is worse. No question. This happened mostly because we elected a populist president in 1980 -- he rewrote the tax codes to let the rich keep more. [/quote]
