I'm optimistic about the under-30s generation. Spoiled generations like ours typically get the most upset and act out the most when you try to take our stuff away.

I honestly feel like it's the mid-30s to 40s aged guys that are rolling over and dying about everything-- they're the ones who are the most defeatist.

One common thread among the baby boomer old schoolers and us young folks is that we were both raised in post-war economic booms (WWII and the Cold War)...we were raised in eras of great technological advancement and progress, and believe that anything is possible as long as you work hard enough or study hard enough, or both....

Even the guys who went to Jet U seem to be more willing to do something about the industry than the pessimistic "I had my ATP when I got hired and I am lucky to have my job" generation.

Who will fight more--the generation of entitlement who has never heard the words "no," or the generation who "earned it" but considers themselves "lucky to be here?"

Rant on, pessimist Gen Xers!!!
