Baby Boomers Destroying America!

The choice is clear.

At my new employer, I work with a lot of millennials.

And the ones that I work with are pretty bright people. A lot of them are pretty financially astute too. I learned a lot of about Robo-financial advisers from some of them.

A lot of them are doing just fine financially. What’s amazing is a lot of these millennials are driven to run their own thing. A lot of these guys I work with are engineers during the normal hours and have a their own business they run off hours. A group of guys own a successful auto shop, another guy runs a marketing company, and there’s a few folks that run a media transcoding company.

Most of them, even the ones that are just POE (plain old engineers) , have bought homes. Some more than one. Some already own free and clear in North County.

I think the concern of our younger generation being doomed is overblown. They’ll be fine, or at least a good portion of them. The rest, well personal choices maybe not so fine, but that’s no different from any other generation.

I think the pattern I’ve seen with most of the more successful ones are all the same… Reasonable education, strong work ethics, and good money management skills instilled from their parents and a no-excuses why I can’t do something.

I guess what type of career you have will also bias you in the type of milenials you see.

Totally agree. And we could say the same thing about prior generations: A lot of people born in the 20s, 30s, and 40s thought the teens of the 70s were totally effed up…that those born in the 60s and 70s were lazy hippy bastards who would never amount to much. I still remember. My how times have changed.

Sounds like you and BG don’t work together.

Millennial, enjoy your newfound power. Millennials will soon be ruling. If anything, businesses will have incentives to make their customers happy.

Millennials overtake Baby Boomers as America’s largest generation

Millennial, you will enjoy this article. Boomers created Trump. Gen X are the cleanup crew

You should have been around in the 70’s to see what we inherited LOL,
People were scared to smoke next to the rivers in the mid-west, they were afraid they would catch fire LOL.

everyone was encouraged to smoke BTW even doctors LOL.

I am no trump fan but Hillary and John Kerry scare the cr#p out of me as well with the games they are playing with Russia.
We should get out of the Mid-east not get deeper IMO.
The world almost ended several times in the 50’s and 60’s. came very close to all out nuclear war. These Guys are playing an even more dangerous game where Russia and American forces may be actually exchanging fire.

With all of the promises being made, and criticism of past generations, it will be interesting to see how things go for our country in the coming years under new leadership.

Although I think changes will be made, contrary to popular delusion, I don’t think most of them will actually make much of a difference in the lives of the voting masses, so, not too long from now, Gen Z forward may well be blogging about their crappy predecessors. Time will tell.

I enjoyed it, thanks for sharing! The article was slightly biased, but pretty much hit my viewpoints right on.

Have you watched the documentary Gasland on Netflix? Pretty scary, but we are still having similar problems. Not only that, but you have people in Flint drinking water with lead in it.

You’re right about Hillary and she’s a Boomer too. Also George W. Bush who sent us to the middle east again after his father couldn’t finish the job. You say that the world almost ended several times in the 50’s and 60’s, but at least the weapons were accounted for.

That’s pretty much what that opinion article states. That it’s your fault!

We have not won a war since WWII,

We don’t do well in other people’s civil wars, We do better letting them be and showing how good freedom is, they join us eventually.
