They do these articles about once a year. Is there a typical "millennial"? No. But as brutal taskmaster who starts every employee lecture with "When I was a kid"... they do have strange habits and views. businessinsider.com/typical-40-yea…
I was told get a good government job, save your money, retire. I retired when I was 40...by massively expanding my peculiar hobby into a media business. inc.com/bill-murphy-jr…
The thing Millennials have in common is being saturated with news about war and violence 9/11. I enjoyed an early lifetime of no war. Millenials live in the here and now on social media. Its' almost unthinkable they would spend years writing a thousand page book from inside war.
As Boomers hand over the reins to Millennials I think about the blind spots. How corporations, political parties and special interest groups have adopted the concept of warfare to internally push agendas. As we fold our tents overseas I see these elite bringing the war home.
Many internal revolutions were triggered by severe economic conditions caused by long/expensive wars. A type of easily triggerable national PTSD found in some and absent in others. I see this in our current American political attitudes. We must not be naive about the potential.
Our combat vets are mostly millennials. Our politicians are mostly Boomers. Our future is Gen X + Z. We better hurry up and die cuz we are screwing every succeeding generation big time. I don't even know what Gen Zs dream of. Or if America can provide it.washingtonpost.com/business/2019/…
As a kid from the North, America was my dream and it paid off in every way. I don't like it when others can't invest the same energy and get the same reward. Should we protect the engine that is America or let the .001% strip it and make money from money? investopedia.com/ask/answers/06…
I am not left or right. More of an anarchist that accepts that every society and political structure must burn to birth the next. First hand. The federal system must strike at the neck of systemic financial fascism. The force behind Trump and the grifting of America.
America threw out the British for aggressive taxation, the French were tired of incompetence, poverty, and the lack of "noblesse oblige" the idea that the fortunate should be kind and generous to those less fortunate. The French chopped some rich folks. history.com/topics/france/…
When people discover how badly Trump and his version of the GOP screwed this country there will be anger. Will there be change? Radical change? Will America create a Third Estate to destroy special interest? Or will Biden man up and chop some heads? britannica.com/topic/Third-Es…
With the end of our long wars we know were badly misled by Reagan, decided by Bush, grifted by Trump and only left with a very large bill we can't pay. Yes we keep digging a hole but is that real growth for the next generation? cbo.gov/publication/56…
