Se there it is. You've been had. Led astray. Bamboozled. Hoodwinked. Run amuck.
What you should have been told at a very young age by your gen-X parents (my generation) is that the baby boomers are largely still running things (the McConnells and Koch brothers of the world) and they're intent on strip mining the system and the planet for as long as they can until there's nothing left. There's not going to be anything left but debt and radiation, so plan accordingly. Lose the disappointment of not getting what you thought you were supposed to get. No one cares.
Think of it this way. They got to the Super Bowl, and then lost all the key assets to free agency and retirement. We're rebuilding. This world we live in now is the Buffalo Bills of the economy. Better yet the current situation is, economically, London after the blitz.
That said, your generations rep is - unfortunately for you - well-earned, by the virtue of the fact that every bitch and moan is amplified by the social media echo chamber that you all spend way too much time on (so much so that an entire economy has been built around views and likes comments and subs), which, ironically we're all taking part in as I type and you read this little missive. Yall's tweets about having your feelings hurt and your dedicated instagram accounts for pictures of your dog isn't helping to alleviate that, and neither did the lead post in this thread.
And it's not that your generation is lazy. It just looks that way. At your age your generation is asking for time off and quality of life right out of the gate and it doesn't work that way. You have to build up to the high wages (which has always been relative to the the dynamics of economics, inflation and spending power)...
...unless you can code. Everyone else starts in the mail room and stays there for years. So suck it up, put on some gloves, get to work and watch out for unexploded ordnance.
