"Morbid Boomer remover coronavirus meme only maes millenial seem more awfull"

I would says more about the disappearance of notion of bravery, duty and discipline. Blaming only the educationnal system is a wrong way for me, as the most important education remain home educatio/
I speak a lot about that, but human under overpopulation behave a lot like the calhoun mouses.

@Libby I'm part of the millenial. I have a lot of difficulties to self learn discipline. I suppose yes, there is a lack of self responsibility among the millenials, but there is a little bit more than that. It's quite hard to explain, but I think that this feeling of a "clown world" explain it quite well. Millenials have a lot of difficulties to find sense or purpose. I suppose that the extremly agressive SJW culture didn't bettered the situation.

@Gatewood To have the next generation to mock you, you have to make babies. Millenial are not reproducing, or at a very low rate. However, my generation would learn the harsh way that "babies are our future" is not simply a motto.[/QUOTE]

 

Crime rates supposedly have tanked while video game playing increased. Our society is messed up right now. Males in particular have reason to avoid family formation. Until we give them better reasons to say "yes", don't blame them for saying "no" and sticking to toys n pern.

I'm a boomer. My kids are millenials and I wish my generation had done better for them.

Again, I'm a boomer. My kids are millenials and I wish my generation had done better for them. While raising the boy, drop out age went from 16 to 18. He went through what even he calls his, "A$$ H0l3" years." and they were very difficult as he felt he was a prisoner. He kind of was. Kids are making horrible choices going to school but these choices are not being made in a vacuum. Is there anything we can do to help? I would begin by doing what can be done at the Fed and State level to stop making college degrees a requirement. Example: If you can pass a bar exam without cheating, you are a lawyer. They have no right to make you jump through hoops to take an exam you are paying to take.
Joke:
Mil: They told me if I don't want to end up a burger flipper, I'd better get a college degree.
Psychiatrist: And now you resent them?
Mil: I got the degree and now they tell me if I don't flip burgers, I'm an entitled jerk.
Psychiatrist: Touche.

 

So you think passing a bar is all you need to practice law?

 

If you can pass the bar without law school, you can do anything including rule the universe!!!

But yes. If you can do it, it should be allowed.

 

Yeah. I know nothing of the bar. One semester of business law was all I needed to realize law is NOT for me.


But I know there are people who memorize by taking practice test after practice test. I would prefer they not be licensed.

 

There is a lot of things on going. We refuse to saw it, but our well being is directly correlated to the amount of energy and ressources we consume. Yet, there is a limited amount of energy and ressources available. The number of individuals as exploded, our consumption of ressources and enery/individuals have exploded, yet we have already consumed more the half of this ressources, and more likely the most easily available ressources.
We went out of some ressources we couldn't think we would be out : for instance time, silence. We're sleeping less and less, and have less and less silence.

It was very hard for boomers to see things as all the damage online pornography, abuse of video games would put on people. And again, even today, it's hard to make that recognized.
Again, I think that the psychological damages induced by overpopulation shouldn't be under estimated.

I think that the other people are right on some point : millenials can lack of self responsibility and can be very entitled. But it's not simply that. Reality is extremly complexe and many factor play a role.
From my point of view, however millenials and bommer share a common trait : high narcissism.

 

What a friggin joke.

according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, the disease is hitting older adults much harder: 80% of deaths associated with the illness were among those 65 and older. Hence, “boomer remover” is now officially a trending meme.

Sorry millennials but nearly 90% of all deaths in America are among 65 and older, so COVID19 is less of a threat to seniors than life itself.

They could try working for something.
Drinking your way through college, studying junk, and borrowing ridiculous sums of money to do it, entitles one to nothing.

Bet the little ****ers will want fed when the economy dumps.

 

Millennials, as a generation... suck. They really do. They are the most entitled, crybaby, woe is me generation our country has ever seen. They are pessimists who truly believe their generational lot is the worst any generation has ever seen. They are the generation of everybody gets a trophy and were lead to believe that their opinions matter more than anybody else. They are blind the prosperity and liberty that surrounds them, and have a tremendous amount of guilt.

In short. **** millennials.

 

See.

Ignorant to history.

"we have it so bad!" blah blah blah. Absolute ignorance.

 

Even with the license, one is typically going to be working for a senior lawyer. Regardless of the field, I find education a base: real growth then comes from OJT. (I've had bosses telling me I should be paying them for the education they are providing.)

I did write above that the millenials are making terrible choices but that these choices are not being made in a vacuum. We're telling them they need college in many ways, including requiring it in job opening postings that should not require it. (You need a 4 year degree to sell life insurance??? ) I'd like to see the State and Fed do what they can to stop that.

I do not think opportunity and the potential to own property has ever been worse in the US for these kids. We boomers created an unsustainable paradigm that has to change. Our kids are old and broke before they're even starting their lives. We can and should do things about this including changing the way our young prepare for professional lives. OJT, certs, etc. rather than institutionalization at great expense of time and money.

 

But they are asking people who did sacrifice to pick up their tab.
Additionally, since so many jobs shouldn't even require degrees, who would employers hire if everyone stopped getting wasteful degrees ?

 

Well, the most difficult day in their lives was when they actually had to go to work.

 

Start encouraging more aptitude testing and providing state acknowledged certs and licensing.

 

That would be correct, except for one tricky little thing called Character and Fitness Certification.

That whole "Background Review" thing.

Anyway, as far as the Actual Topic, I find it rather sad that these young kids are taking this lightly and turning their disdain for their Elders into some cutesy internet meme.

 

I know that my generations have many flaws, but I think that you're describing a minority of us, probably the most visible one however, because they scream the most. A lot of millenials are also sick of "those" millenials.

I would agree that we are a sick generation, on many points

 

And then there is this:

Police investigating teenagers coughing on produce at grocery store

"A Virginia police department is investigating reports that teenagers filmed themselves coughing on produce at a local grocery store and uploaded videos on social media."

<snip>

""We have learned that this appears to be a disturbing trend on social media across the country, and we ask for help from parents to discourage this behavior immediately," Purcellville police wrote. "Please talk with your children and explain to them why such behavior is wrong, especially given the current situation regarding the spread of Coronavirus.""

So true. Millenials are spineless brainwashed grown up children.

This is the classic case of easy credit creating misallocation. This is the crux of all of our economic problems

 

I don't understand. Any links to the topic as it does sound interesting. For right now, we have kids go through 4 years of accredited college and they do not necessarily know as much as someone that took a 3 month online course. NRO once wrote that the problem with Harvard is not that you cannot get a good education from there. You can. The problem is you can graduated without an education. Witness AOC, an economics grad who does not seem to know a thing about the topic. Accreditation plus aptitude testing may be an efficient improvement over the existing paradigm.

 

This is misallocation of capital.
This is what happens when credit is easy to get.
This is what happens in the economy.
Easy credit gets used for nonproductive stuff, stick buybacks for instance.
This is the basis of booms and busts

 

You should want the government to stay out of it. If the insurance companies can find college grads to do the job they will do it. when they cannot, they will change the requirements. Most of what government does now is inappropriate. No need to give them more to do.

 

I've heard it posited that business could simply test applicants so that they can hire the best person at the best price but will not due to fears of fallout if/when demographics are not diverse enough. But once I tried to get a job at Home Depot. They tested me so that is happening some. I'd be interested in knowing if testing is permissible, why not do more. Also, I put my profile on indeed.com looking for jobs and that offers tests too. Go ahead and have whatever creds you want but if you cannot pass any of their tests, good luck getting a gig.

 

Businesses don't care about diversity. They care about effectiveness that enhances profit. Of course they can test if they want to. There are no laws requiring businesses to engage in diversity. There is only political pressure.

 

There are no laws, but there is a system in place that is likely to still punish the business even if they did not break any laws.

That basically forces businesses to have to hire 'token' diversity, so they can 'prove' that they are not discriminating if they ever get a lawsuit.

People don't realize how broken the system is, and how laws can have implications that go far beyond just what the law actually says is illegal.

Businesses sometimes have to break the law to avoid getting punished by the law.
And I suspect in some cases this is not entirely unintentional. Those who supported these laws knew exactly what they would do.
It's just a sly underhanded way of getting their policies in place, without having a law that sounds too bad.
