Sure, let's blame millennials for the disgusting condition the boomers are leaving us. Totally fair. Not at all like the boomers made the country significantly worse off, by way of their self-centeredness and need to take care of themselves and themselves only.
Definitely not skyrocketing education costs. If only those students would work harder!
Definitely not spending more money on boomer entitlements instead of reinvesting in infrastructure. Damn millennials are so greedy, they don't know how to make an honest buck!
Definitely not because the federal minimum wage hasn't kept up with inflation. Millennials are lazy and won't work hard enough to make a living wage!
Definitely not that young people today are poorer than previous generations. If millennials would just pick themselves up by their bootstraps and work an honest day's work they'd be fine!
Enough sarcasm. Baby boomers, the most selfish generation, are responsible for our country today. Boomers have somehow convinced us that their greed is our fault. If boomers would spend more time on helping and caring about the welfare of future generations (like their parents did) instead of raiding what's left of our country's wealth, the future in America would be much brighter.
Bashing millennials for the terrible situation our parents left us? Keep pushing the blame our way, we can take it. There's no way we can possibly match the greed and self-centeredness of our parents' generation. Keep mocking us, and lets see how history views you.
Edit: I realized that I didn't include a Fox News link. Here you go, for anyone that has a problem with Forbes, et al.

saw a sign in the wazzu coaching office...it said You're either coaching it or allowing it to happen. same applies to parenting, so we know why millenials are the way that they are. we are a nation of pussies and millenials arent to blame for that - their parents are.
I don't disagree with 90% + of what you said. I don't think you will have trouble matching the previous generations entitlements; unless the opportunity is not there. Basically each generation is a cluster of special interest groups; the percentages of the population vary and that tips and steers the ship.
PLEASE! Just because no-one, gave you a gold spoon! We said same thing about our parents, unfortunately the mold has been crushed!
Triggered.
It's ok, you're in a safe space. No one is taking your safety pin. You will still get your trophy for getting out of bed this afternoon.
If you're a boomer, your parents left your generation much better than your generation left us. That's not opinion, that's fact. Feel free to check out any of the links I posted above or pull up a Google search. Btw, this is a macro-level discussion since OP thought mocking millennials was funny. Sure some millennials are lazy, and sure some boomers aren't selfish. But on a macro-level, this has been very well studied and documented.
Go ahead, continue perpetuating the stereotypes instead of trying to understand. I didn't say anything about "triggered," or "safe spaces" - that's entirely on you. Nor did I say anything about trophies. If you're so concerned about handing out participation trophies, maybe you should look at who's giving them out - it's not millennials. And who came up with the idea of safe spaces? Not millennials.
I understand all that I need to. You millennials are pussies. Cry about everything. Want everything for free.
I make good money and have a comfortable life. You want to know why? Because I worked for it. I worked really hard for it. Google the definition of work. Nothing comes for free. Life is hard and it sucks sometimes. Suck it up and deal with it.
the younger generation needs to work for it. meanwhile, your generation has run up 19 trillion of debt. good job, thanks a lot.
No worries...about 60% or so typically mature and become productive members of society.
Yep. When you demand something for nothing that's what happens. Massive debt. Want to know the source of the sad state of the millennial generation and their entitlement mindset? Look at the generation that invented the entitlement state in this country. The boomers.
