The elderly who lived through multiple wars, a few deep recessions and stuff like the miners strike and cold war?
The same elderly who lived in houses with no central heating, outside bogs and insulation hadn't been invented? The same elderly who had to send their kids to school to get a shower?
The same elderly who lived through times where having multiple jobs was the norm in order to get by?
The same elderly who have seen double digit interest and inflation rates?
The same elderly who used to be able to work together in a community to get stuff done instead of whining about how little others do for them on the internet?
The same elderly who had to deal with the power getting switched off because there wasn't enough to go around?
Yeah, generation ********* need to quit with the whining on twitter about how hard done to they are and realise that they are the most privileged generation ever.
The "millennials" who can barely afford to buy there own property by 30 due to ridiculous house prices, demanding deposits, first time buying has always been a struggle. Oh and on top of that don't forget the extortionate renting prices, but then if I lived at home with Mummy and Daddy I'd be flamed for that too.
The same "millennials" who end up with thousands upon thousands of debt before the even begin their career.
The same "millennials" who get moaned at and shafted for following technology, yet would get no where without it.
The same "millennials" who have to do every little thing they can to get a job, 9/10 it isn't a job that thousands worth of debt set them up to do.
The same "millennials" who have to work for the elderly generation still running things under there views which, are much more racist/homophobic/slanderous than is deemed as acceptable.
I am not hating on the elderly generation at all, different times meant different things. I am not saying all of the elderly generation are racists/homophobic at all. But they were raised in a generation which deemed these actions as acceptable. I'm not at all saying we have it harder, but as every generation goes by the issues they face change. I can guarantee your parents think you have life easy compared to themselves.
The world changes are the younger generation will always be the first to experience those changes and have to learn them.
It's insulting to call an entire generation of people **********. Yes we aren't perfect and the comments made about a lot of them being glued to screens is true but its part of the learning the change process, realising you have to have a balance.
The fact the 60/70 year old white men are in charge of most of our massive companies today has a massive effect on everything. I had a conversation with my Uncle-in-Law once who is of Indian ethnicity in the engineering industry. For 20 minutes he spoke about how a young white British straight male (myself) is worth his weight in gold in the industry purely because of who is running it. So yes I have it easy but imagine if i wasn't white and British would you be calling me a ********* then?
Every generation thinks they are better than the one that comes after them. 'What is it with these kids these days'
