Don't let those pesky facts get in the way of making a blanket statement about an entire generation.

Yep.

Economic forecasts clearly show that those guys will have way more money for travel.

Given the fact that 98.9% of them will return to live in Mommy’s basement after earning that tough art history degree.

If you had read the article, Millennials now travel more on business trips than their GenX and Baby Boomer counterparts. That's where the money is. Millennials are also more likely to buy add-ons like wifi. Again, the claim that "they don't have any money to dictate market forces" is without any facts.

And don't forget that any millennial majoring in basket weaving in college and then moving in their parent's house is a failure of parenting by their Boomer parents.

Baby Boomers are pretty much the most selfish generation in the history of planet earth. Thanks for the 20 trillion dollars in debt. Thanks for ruining Social Security. Thanks for never winning a war. Thanks for having all those divorces over the years...have you seen the movie "Four Christmases"? Thanks for giving up on religion, now we are bunch
of immoral bastards. Thanks for deciding you would rather jerk around and have fun instead of raising children. And the few kids you decided to have are a bunch of over dramatic crybaby children, oh wait, never mind...my bad.

Of course the Millenials will gradually take power from the old conservative geezers, only to find that they have become conservative geezers themselves. Don’t think that will happen? Neither did the Hippies. :D

Boomers do have a lot of faults, but most I know actually worked hard once they grew up and made pretty good lives for their families.

And I don’t think I have ever heard of one needing a ‘safe space’ to retreat to when they feel ‘triggered.’

Maybe millennials will impress us eventually. Once they get through traveling on mommy’s money.... And perhaps tire of Pokémon Go

This thread is officially off the rails but lets keep it going

https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.vox...-congress-debt

A guy may work hard and make 100k a year but if he spends 200k a year, marries and divorces multiple times, litters, stops going to church, treats other races like crap, and only worries only about himself then he, not the indoors sunglasses guy, is the real douche. As far as generations go the baby boomers are the ultimate douches.

I need to stop the updates to this thread from hell

Speaking of off the rails...sheesh! Why get all worked up over something as trivial as this? You must have something more important in life to focus your worries on, right?

Problem is everyone stereotypes mellennials as 18-25 that has no job and lives with their parents. Fact is that there are many millennials that are 35 with great jobs and raising responsible good families. Yet for some reason millennial keeps being used as a derogatory term.

There are people in their early 20s just going to college and looking for jobs???? Say it ain't so! I agree, there are many early to mid-30 Millennials that are making, saving and spending more than the generations that came before.
