Such a good article! Boomers (at least some) love to blame Millennials and Gen Z. But a lot of problems are their doing. Economic instability, rising costs of living, helicopter parenting, and a worthlessly inflated university degree that doesn't even land you a job. But there's no point in the blame game; let's just fix the problem.
Yes! I'm not trying to play a blame game so much as I think knowledge is power and I want an analysis of who the enemy is and how we fight them if we need to. Things work differently for these recent generations (everyone needing multiple jobs etc.) because they're supposed to, and I disagree with anyone who says our time us up because last I checked, astronauts, CEOs, etc. are 35, 45+ anyway and most of us are nowhere near that. Some of the older Gen Xers are like Elon Musk and they're already making it, but their time has basically begun rather than being up.
I will always put Boomers to blame for having a ton of kids and literally not being able to explain anything to them because the Boomers basically had everything handed to them, at the same time, I'm smart enough to figure things out myself even if I feel like I've made a lot of enemies along the way, and I hope I can help other people understand things and maybe they can also help me if they have anything to add.
Oh I agree with you totally. But as the ancient Stoics teach, we have to focus on what's in our control. Other people's mistakes are not in our control; there's no point in worrying about them.
Yes, but I still want to analyze them so I feel like I understand the problem. I'll need to make sure this doesn't just turn into people playing the blame game though.
