Re: The Misguided Freakout About Basement-Dwelling Millennials

Honestly there will always be a sub-sect of older individuals that will complain no matter what. These are frequently the same people claiming that America would get back on track if the country became more religious and people as a whole were more willing to take on dirty jobs. All the while they can't wait to deport illegal immigrants from Latin America who frequently consist of devoted Christians willing to take on virtually any job.

And taking our welfare and best jobs to boot
Like landscaping, dish washing, picking our fruit

I'd pass lots of laws to get rid of their brood
Because I would be Immigration Dude.
Of course I've seen reports that suggest that millennials surprisingly are very similar to the Greatest Generation of All Time. (Greatest Generation usually consist of the Grandparents of millennials and are most frequently associated with WW2 service hence their alternate name the G.I Generation).

In short both have now been part of a devastating financial crisis (Great Depression/Great Recession) and ironically have lived with Parents longer in part because a decent amount of parents were able to make a large amount of money during the previous decade which saw an economic boom (1920's/1990's). Both generations have also been found to be very civic minded and also turned off by the greed exhibited by their parent's generation which both generations feel played a large part in each respective financial crisis.
