Gen X
and
The Mellenials

at least those of us born at the end of gen x, do you know many people born after 1975 or hell even 1970 who are better off than their parents are? there are some but most of us are fucked and will never have as big of a house to live in that we did at our parents house, nor a back yard, nor nice vacations every year, nor benefits like health insurance from work, nor annual raises in salary.

i know, supposedly we in gen x are falling behind because we are just slakers, the fact that more of us have university diplomas than prior generations just shows that we wanted to party for 6 years to get a Master's handed to us and that we don't really want to or know how to work. You have 2 TWO generations now who generally feel like abject failures to their ancestors because they cannot be slightly better off than the previous generation as our families had been since they arrived in the USA. why did armando and Mika move from Italy and Poland if all we can do is fall father behind ???? they could have done that in the old country.....

we on the left target the bankers and wealthy elite for having organized this

on the right the same generations blame gays, immigrants, liberals, unionists, and blacks for the current state of affairs
