    No other Economic system has pulled people out of poverty.

    None.

    Yes our current iteration of capitalism is excellent at this. The middle class is thriving.
    The middle class is living better than almost the entire world. Should we compare the middle class to any socialist/Marxist country? Tell us what the middle class doesn't have or can't do compared to what any middle class in the history of the United States has had. Should they all have million dollar homes and take a month long vacation anywhere in the world? Tell us about how they struggle to feed and clothe their children. How's the bliss in your world?
    Thanks for missing the point. The middle class that should have $300,000 homes and 2 weeks of vacation like every other middle class in American history is shrinking.

    I'd bet your right. Who knows what the other 50% are thinking!

    Millennials know:

    20 years of pointless war that was costing over $1B a day at it's peak.

    The housing bubble where rich people robbed the American public and the government paid them back 100 cents on the dollar for any short term loss.

    Crippling student loan debt to get a job that previous generations never needed a formal education to do, yet still did the job equally well.

    There is no more competition. Amazon, Google, eBay, and Netflix won. Seriously, what business are you going to start that some titan doesn't already have a complete monopoly on? A good capitalistic environment is supposed to motivate people to create a job instead of finding one, which went away 40 years ago.

    We are generally viewed negatively by most of the established world.

    We completely destroyed an entire continent in their lifetime and stirred up a hornets nest that brings terror to everyone's door step.

    We can't spare $4M for Meals on Wheels but we need $65B more annually for defense. You know, cause the......fuck we're out of enemies.

    The quality of life between working your ass off and not working at all is pretty similar.

    Trying to save money with a meager salary to enjoy life when it's already over instead of using it while you can enjoy it is fucking stupid. All you are doing it making someone else rich.

    If you work really hard you can be rich one day! 99.9% false.


    I can keep going. Millennials are a lot of things, but stupid isn't one of them. They're the best bullshit detectors this nation has ever produced.

    You’re 34 and you’ve given up? and YOU coach Youth? and pretend to be a mentor?

    The people that started those businesses weren't fucking stupid enough to think everything had been invented

    CHRIST

    Right, because the fucking internet is going to be invented again.

    How many new major car and oil companies have popped up in the last 50 years that have put a dent in the big boy's wallets?

    Ford, Chevy, Chrysler.

    Exxon, Shell, BP.

    Anymore sound Boomer logic?
    I think the poont is that new industries will be created, not that new companies will challenge established industry leaders. Weed, renewable energy, and hoverboards are still up for grabs.
    Weed has already been monopolized by everyone knowing how to grow it. The government fucked up that cash grab.

    Renewable energy is a joke. My holdings in WNDW hit two weeks ago. Thanks for the 212%, but it's a joke. Our president is balls deep in cole.

    Hoverboards that catch on fire after three hours?

    The internet is already monopolized and the FCC just locked them in.

    Millennials will be the generation that brings it all down by waiting for Baby Boomers to die and swooping their retirement dream homes for pennies on the dollar, shopping at thrift stores and outlets, and buying used cars and driving them until they die. The generation after them are even cheaper.
    I happened to stumble upon Back to the Future III last night, so real hoverboreds are on my mind. Not the stupid rolly things they sell today. Antigrav is out there, you just need to figure it out.

    California just legalized the herb, and I know a few folks who got into the business a few years ago to be able to hit the ground running. Wife also likes working with pot growers, because they pay on time and in cash.

    I here you can buy Solyndra real cheap these days.

    My facetious examples aside, the serious! poont is that new industries are always forming, and there are always opportunities for innovative people.
    Problem in California is no banking. Was talking to a buddy today who works with several operations there. One business has several drivers with cash that go around to vendors and are trusted with money. Payroll is the same. Crazy shit going on right now.
    See, now some innovative mind might come up with a legit weed bank. See a need, fill it.
    Weed credit unions exist.

    I don't agree with @Sledog . The millennials I have worked with lived n the film room and are more than willing to do what it takes to win. Nothing has changed

    I graduated high school in 1974 as America was descending in to hell. Guess what? Hard work still worked. Always has, always will

    its idiots like mooster running around saying all is lost that need to get a fucking clue

    Best thing I ever did was walking away from a career and starting over and working with millennials. We both benefited from it

    That's why I defend them here.

    I have a 6 figure salary and work in arguably the highest demand industry (tech). My partner (who has a higher 6 figure salary than me) and I can't even dream about buying a home within 30 miles of our workplace. Granted, I don't consider myself a millennial (I'm 36), but if we can't buy a house, things have just changed.
    You can buy a McMansion in Houston for 400K

    Even in Cali you can get a nice house at your income levels.

    When we bought our house the interest rate was double digits

    What has changed is the banking laws after the crash. 20% down as a hard number is hard to come up with unless you bank most of your income for a year or two
    Fuck McMansions. I would live in Houston if there were any tech jobs there worth a shit.
    The Bay Area is a hard one but not impossible at your level. Probably will need some kind of commute

    Or work from home.
    Even in the early 1990's when I was working for the studios, most guys I worked with owned in Canyon Country, or further out in Palmdale/Landscatter because they preferred to have a 3000sqft home over a smaller Toluca Lake townhouse. That said, the Bay Area does a pretty pisspoor job of creating higher-density housing. Generally not as profitable as single-family homes, so it's up to local govt. to step in and create incentives for builders and developers to build housing that takes some pressure off of the transportation networks. Plus, sitting in traffic sucks.
    Right about there, doogie, Pawz, sledog, and Race just started screaming communist!!!!!
    Why is government blocking technology solutions promoting instantaneous and continuous, existing Transportation solutions, in the first place?
