Someone born in the 1940s was born into a world in flames. This is idiocy.
What is this chucklehead even gibbering about?
First of all, it is a parochial argument. So parochial that it is insulting to the entirety of Europe.

Second, WITAF?
Start with London: "During the Blitz 32,000 civilians were killed and 87,000 were seriously injured. Two million houses (60 per cent of these in London) were destroyed in the Blitz."
407K American soldiers died in WWII in the Forties. Call it a half million just to make it an easy lift conceptually.
Seriously, is @AndrewYang an idiot?
@AndrewYang How many children do you suppose 407K American soldiers had?
@AndrewYang Were they better off, when their moms got The Visit, or The Telegram, than Millennials?

Fuck your shit.
@AndrewYang The argument that Millennials are at a disadvantage to Boomers is one thing. The argument that Millennials are worse off than kids born in the 1940s is a fucking obscenity.
@AndrewYang Boomers start at 1946. Try to be more precise in your arguments. The first five years of the 40s were a shitstorm, and it continued into the post-war recession.

If you're going to make an argument like that, try to make a rational one.
@AndrewYang I was born in 1956. Pick on people like me. Don't pick on people who were born in 1946 and their parents were still traumatized by WWII, and many by the Great Depression as well.
