Generation "Y" by MagicBishop: 11:53am On Oct 21, 2013 |
I stumbled upon a thread on an anonymous U.S. based forum decrying how bad things are for this current generation of young Americans. Here are excerpts from that thread: 1. Technological unemployment means more windows close than doors open 2. Globalism/skewed free trade agreements 3. Third world, unskilled immigration increasing labor pool saturation 4. Employers unwilling to train or pay a living wage capable of supporting yourself, never mind a family... even though productivity has increased rapidly in the past 100 years and is still increasing. 6. Baby Boomer generation have trillions of dollars of entitlements 7. Low birth rates 8. Crumbling infrastructure that needs to be replaced 9. White women are loose canon coal burners 10. College is risky, expensive, its high school 2.0 for credentials and infested with Marxists. 11. Yuppies (late 80's to 90's generation) raised Generation Y in broken homes which lowers everything from grades, to mental health, to money earned 12. Governments are corrupt and run by "former" lobbyists, or soon to be lobbyists. 13. The global economy is completely broken 14. Feminized school system destroys boys 15. Divorce is the new "in" thing, your coal burning wife will take your house and car by alimony, and you have to pay for her to live for the rest of her life even if you were only married for 1 second. Many states consider you common law married if you cohabitate for more than 6 months 16. It's getting harder and harder for young people to afford a car, rent and food... never mind bread and circuses. I could not agree more. This generation Y really has it bad. 30 years from now I see the U.S. society looking more like that in the movie Loopers. |

you should define generation Y first, so we dont have to look it up before we can understand your frame of reference. |

from wiki: The Millennial Generation, also known as Generation Y, is the demographic cohort following Generation X. Commentators use beginning birth dates from the early 1980s to the early 2000s. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Millennials |
