As opposed to what generation before having Morals? Which one was this?
Was it the generations that allowed/did nothing about slavery in the world for so long? Was is the generation using water cannons against people of a "different color"? Perhaps the generations that wanted long drawn out engagements militarily in Korea, Vietnam, etc.
Are these the generations that carry with them, the moral fiber and compass we need to be seeking?
Lulz, k.

Hard working>???
Apparently the concept of working hard is confusing to you?
This is why so many people laugh at Millennials and their incessant whining.

You are a fool is the problem.
School costed close to nothing still when you were in it as opposed to now and guess what generation made it possible to saddle Millennials with tons and tons of student loan debt so as to make sure they could get loans taken out against those students as collateral.
The ignorance of the previous generations is both staggering, and appalling.

Well I work full time and go to school full time is that enough work yet??
Also I would like to point out almost everyone I was posting about involved in the tech industry are already working full time and have fulfilled their post-secondary school requirements.
Just so happens that's not enough anymore.

Oh I am used to it taking weeks of hard labor to find a job and months and months of weeding out bad jobs to only find a decent one.

I don't know what you think I'm actionably trying to change about you, other than your perception.

Millennial in my mind is only a patronizing way to generally try to speak to people that are 'younger' than you with the explicit intent of sounding condescending in the first place. No one that is a "Millennial" really calls themselves this, only people looking to talk about 'the next generation of stupid kids, who remain stupid until there is another generation to hate on'.
Most of the older generation that I interact with are idiots compared to Millennials I've met, and the generation before them even dumber many times, some would call this a 'pattern'. I'm not speaking about simple day-to-day life things like Driving, and Computer use, but critical thinking in general. The idea they aren't just 'bad' at video games for example, but literally incapable, while currently 5 year old absolve enough of their environment to understand a button push relates to another event, feels disgusting to me. Imagine having to explain to someone how to use an elevator every opportunity it's used, and that's roughly how it feels having grandparents with a computer and email.
Millennials this, Millennials that, the Baby Boomer group sure pisses me off the most, and are the last people that would ever take advice. It's only fitting they demand to serve it. The audacity the older generation has when talking down to the young ones is fierce though particularly this time around. Generally it's spoken like Millennials are all damned idiots and will never accomplish anything, while we sit here with your old ass bitching, and Millennials discovering cures to diseases and self-making billion dollar companies like SnapChat and Facebook, that the older generation is too old and inept to even figure out 'how to use it', but still stand to mock their decision making skills in the face of this- even directly to the smartest ones, like that's the whole huge joke that successful Millennials are idiots as well.
Discrimination based on Age, Older>Younger is a real and worsening thing. An older man on a plane, sitting next to me in First Class started yelling at a Stewardess about a crying baby, and about how rich he was, blah blah blah, he deserves such respect and how he would sue people this and that, no one wants to hear it. I'm 100x your networth, sit the hell down and enjoy your peanuts that were upgraded to Steak, or did you not notice me dressed in pajamas? The seriousness of the attitude is the worst part. I can't stress that enough. Most of you will be reeling in your graves against what is no doubt your failed personal expectations. You have dwindling retirement because that is the scam you bought into for your life. Opportunity for Millennials has never been better and the ones who lack it just don't work at all. The "Work, Work, Work" attitude kills you and Millennials respect personal self-comfort levels. Working yourself into a grave isn't cool, rest allows better work. Maybe my issue with the man on the plane was the fact he felt like he had to display his pathetic wealth like it matters, many people in the 1% of the 1% don't even matter, there is no reason to actually give a damn once the real lines are set.
But I will say this, calling a Millennial stupid holds about as much footing as calling an American stupid. Anyone being that general is obviously the stupid one. The constant nagging like they're incapable of thought and need people to decide things for them, and their whole generation, is insane. Lets be real here, the biggest issue Millennials face is how the hell we're going to take care of the dying Boomers that excessively demand the highest possible quality of life in their final years.
My official predication is that the new state (the corporation) is going to start providing housing before raising the wages of employees and it will market it as a new benefit and try to make it look cool.

3. Baby boomers are the most God Damn useless generation I have ever had the displeasure of dealing with followed by Gen X
So you are annoyed by hard working people that take responsibility for their lives?
You really can't make this stuff up...just WOW.
