[@wooww91619]

Also a good, cheaper option.. but it depends what you want. Avocados (per tablespoon) have almost no sugar, fewer calories, >3x the potassium, >3x the Omega 3's, >2x the fiber, and a much higher portion of monounsaturated fats in its fat content. Peanut butter has higher protein and calcium.. but Americans aren't usually lacking in those. Seems gross until you acquire the taste, and then you're craving them.

[@FreyaEinde]

I feel like the real problem is that most places don't wanna sell their vacant real estate under market to match the salaries of their surrounding area making it more likely more people will buy.

And you won't hear the person who gave their entire adult life in service of a company just to have their retirement stolen from them say "millinials are lazy".

[@Mr.Monacle]

I hate to disagree with you there, but I can name like 5 people in my family that have had *those exact things* happen to them, and if they’re older than 40 they tend to hold the stance that millennials are lazy and entitled. It is generationism, and you’re right there is some classism in it, but as someone that grew up in a lower-middle class, and impoverished family, (depending on the time in my life), I can say that classism isn’t the majority of it. Keep in mind, I do respect and agree with your statement to a lesser extent, but, it isn’t all one or the other, but a healthy mix of the two. The classism of the wealthy trickles down into the poor where it becomes true generationism, as the people there genuinely believe the problem to be generational; that if they were in the same situation they would be fine because they are from a harder working, hardier generation.

I have so much passion for what I do and I put everything I can into my work and have also sacrificed a lot, extra hours, extra effort and lost touch with friends and relationships. When you put so much into somthing and then get called lazy and entitled by the media or older people you do start to feel fed up, and maybe do want to treat yourself to avocado toast, especially when you’ve tried very hard.

This stems from being too focused on our own generation and seeing ourselves as superior to other generations. So if we are to avoid continuing the endless cycle, we must be aware of the unique strengths and weaknesses of every generation, not just put ourselves up on a pedestal. We must also be prepared for the criticism we will inevitably receive from the younger generations when we’re older.

THEIR parents had lived through the Depression so when the economy picked up after WWII and they could afford to give their kids a good life they did. That's what parents do. They strive to give their children a better life than they had. The problem is there's no handbook. Some parents gave their kids too much so when they grew up they gave their own kids too much too. It's way more complicated than that but at the end of the day, as the saying goes, children are a map of their parents. I'm trying to raise my own kids to be decent human beings. Treat others the way you want to be treated, work for what you want instead of expecting others to do it for you, respect your elders, etc. They don't have all kinds of screens or expensive stuff just because other parents buy it all for their kids (while struggling to pay for things that actually matter). Only time will tell what sorts of adults these children will be and we'll only have our collective generation to blame for it. Buckle up, Buttercup.

If anything, bad politicians and corrupt government is the result of economic setbacks. For example, red tape hindering entrepreneurs from starting new businesses, requiring useless and expensive licenses, "progressive" taxes making business owners move, high minimum wages hurting small business and useless laws businesses have to follow that use up capital for no gain. I blame the 2008 housing bubble on government and big bank working together for their own benefits (crony capitalism/corporalism). It nothing to do with the baby boomers "ruining" something. The only thing that the baby boomers have done that was very wrong was the hippie movement. Thank goodness it was small. I don't get it. People constantly joke and talk about how crooked or corrupt the politicians are, yet they rely so much on the government to "fix things". Third party spenders are lousy. Government is no exception. You can't say you're joining the real world if you're relying on government to help you financially through loans or welfare.

No hate here. Jobs took a punch in the gut in the late 1970's, and so did ALL employees. It was the first time when employers bought each other out and *DOWNSIZED*. This was a time when *tenured* professors with doctoral degrees were slinging hamburgers to stay afloat financially because they weren't being kept on. And professorships and fellowships shrank tremendously. Not even teens could work at McDonald's because those jobs were filled by adults who couldn't get a job in their field. Compare that to 1967,when a Master's degreed graduate in sciences especially could write their own ticket on where to work. They even paid for relocation. In the 1970's,my Mom worked as a bookkeeper and could keep our family afloat and give us music lessons, membership at a swimming club, decent food (a roast on the weekend sometimes), a nice haul of presents from Santa Claus😉, and a bicycle. And much more. Gymnastics, (vinyl) records, boom boxes, stereos, X-mas tree, pets, and quite the middle class life while maintaining a nice car and house on a quiet street. Then late '70's we had to tighten our belts a lot! Mom had a harder time meeting our needs and Dad had bad times at the hospital. She made some gambles by going back to university (which was doable) and applying for work as an accountant, which would raise our income and allow us to thrive. I was able to pay my university tuition every semester in the 1980's, and I graduated with a BS and a Master's degree in Teaching. My tuition started at $900/semester. At the end of my degree, tuition was $1500/semester. Minimum wage was $3.30/hour and I was paid $3.40 an hour with regular raises. I got to $3.80 when I left in 1986. Iwas able to pay my tuition and books and have a school loan to pay back at 4%. I did have to refinance, and it took a while, but I was able to pay it back. Not without setbacks, though. No one was hiring. All I could get was scut work at not much more than minimum wage. The jobs in my area (lab tech) did not last for a career, and I continued to struggle. I was the caboose of the Baby Boomers. When I couldn't find a career, US jobs were already in decline. Wal-Mart discount stores popped up everywhere. Gasoline jumped from $1.00 to $2.50 and went up and down like a yo-yo. There were lines to gas stations in the late 1970's and gas stealing, and locking gas caps were a new thing. Jobs and the economy never recovered from then on till even today. I feel for you Millenials. You are bearing the brunt of the worst economic times. They will never call it a depression. That's a numbers game. If you cherry pick your statistics, you can make them say anything. Keep demanding better. You deserve better. Don't let CEO's and people with old money (like Barbara Bush's boys) try to piss on your leg and tell you it's raining! Demand a living wage. You deserve life you can live. You deserve your avocado on toast! (avocados prevent cancer.) we deserve our coffee house coffee! You can bet they enjoy theirs! They'll complain about your avocado on toast while they go to $200.00 a plate affairs and leave half of more of the food. And leftovers from catering? God forbid that anyone in a homeless shelter eat filet mignon, lobster, or shrimp. Or even escargot. Keep the poor poor. And they even put out laws that prevent people delivering such leftovers to homeless shelter citing health reasons. Caterers know how to take care of food. And the worst you get from pizza is dry ingredients that perk up in a microwave. The reason the 1% didn't drink coffee house coffee was because it didn't exist outside of groceries. Columbian was the best bean you could get, and the grocery had a machine that would grind it for you fresh. That was it. Demand better Healthcare. Demand better jobs. You know who provides those jobs. Don't mind the crocodile tears of the CEO's on Wall Street. You truly deserve better.

I think that as people get older, they forget what it was like to be younger. For example, I hear a lot of people my age (and have since probably high school), complain about getting older and wish they were a kid again. But I always question whether they really thought this through and as somebody who remembers childhood really vividly, I would never choose to be a child again. As a child, I always felt powerless, had all my decisions dictated by older people because "they knew better" (even when sometimes, they didn't) and was forced to follow often arbitrary rules that served no functional purpose (don't wear hats in class? Forced outside for recess even though it's -25ºC outside?). Kids are also a lot more insecure and therefore mean to each other, so the social environment as a kids wasn't so great. All this to say, being a kid sucks and I would never want to go through that again. If older people could remember what being in college or recently-graduated was like, maybe they'd stop reminiscing that those were the best years of their life too and sympathize with the struggles we're going through

While it isn’t immediate, seeing as millennials and current gen aren’t that different age wise and are relatively equal in their understanding and use of technology and information today, eventually current gen will surpass us. And as we gain more knowledge and truth about the world and universe, with more experience, we are wiser than the next one. Difference is we can use this too help each other, rather than divide us.

Generation bashing is down to the failures and sometimes bitterness of those that bash and their Generation as a whole. I inherited a strip of land from my predecessors and planted orange seeds on it without tilling the land and maintaining it and I expected healthy orange trees as harvest. Then when the harvest of ugly and thorny weeds and their bitter and poisonous fruits surrounding mangled and stunned orange trees arrives, I begin to blame the oranges for not turning out well and tasting sour. That is the crass reality of our society. And what amazes me the most is when Milennials are bashed for certain vices that are overseen by the classmates of the basher. Like a situation where strippers of a trafficking ring are used as an example to attack the millennial for his or her perversion only to discover latter that the owner of that ring is your former class mate.

[@Hayyyward]

@Westward Thinking Eh? Do you even pay attention to what is going on in America? There is a reason why younger people are hated so much. Especially in the political world. There has been generation gaps of differences for a long time now and kids growing up today will be old at some point and do the exact same thing to younger generations. As an American myself, I could care less about future generations as there simply is too many of us on this planet already. And that is not going to change. I certainly can not change it so why bother with worrying about it? People are going to do what they're going to do but it is a LOT easier to change when it's maybe a 100 people. Not billions. So many issues could be resolved with a lot less people on this planet and that is what is needed. But it's not going to happen. Better to enjoy what you can instead of worrying about the things you can not change. Let this current young and old generation argue over things because it will just repeat itself again. Things are changing so rapidly now that stability is becoming less and less. People in general do like constant changes, especially when it's on larger scales. That is the world we are living in today though. People overall are less happy and it is showing.

Here is what really gets me at times. There are moments when young people actually make good decisions in history such as refraining from alcohol or not choosing to buy a house. On the former it is an example of young people looking out for their health and deciding not to be stupid and what do their elders do? They throw a fit and accuse them of being selfish. Because the idea of young people being healthy and unharmed to them is heresy. And it also rather cuts into the profits of bars and pubs showing their greed. On the latter, that is a big responsibility, one NOT to take lightly. Note to that much of the cause of the economic disaster of 2008 was Subprime Mortgages. Perhaps those young people saw or felt something off kilter and decided not to put their bank accounts at risk.

I get being paid more for having experience, but you still have to ACTUALLY DO THE JOB and not sit back and watch the "young folks" do your job for you. I've seen SO many boomers complaining about having to actually do what's literally in their job description, and think that it's their right to sit back and watch someone else do their job.

Their median tip is 20% while women's median is 16%. Southerners and democrats tip the least at 15%. Also, while it is annoying to constantly hear complaints, there may be reasons why they may complain a lot. You wouldn't really know since it's their thoughts, but they could have weak teeth or maybe just had a bad day. I doubt they are intentionally being malicious to every millennial they see.
