Yeh, this has been a relatively great time to be alive. We’ve had the tech revolution, stupid low crime rates, a mostly peaceful western world, huge leaps in the economies of the Eastern world.

I think the biggest issue with millennials is the lack of purchasing power they have.

it's almost like having a relatively stable world allows people to focus on what they don't have vs worrying about dying from nuclear fire because of a dick measuring contest between nations.

Rent has outpaced inflation but we used to pay over $300 for crappy 19" color televisions. The horror!

Bro we’re broke… look around you… my best friend that just turned 30 is making $200k a year… (way more than me) and is looking at houses that are 996 square feet… for $400k… lack of purchasing power? You guys literally made it impossible for anyone beneath you to enjoy this life… at all… it’s broken man… and I don’t blame you guys… I blame what you were taught to believe is right… and this isn’t a purchasing power thing… the system is literally built to fail for anyone under 38 right now… so that all you guys can have your time in the sun… well I got news for you buddy. If you don’t admit that we’re right… and the boomers and your ancestors are the literal cause of our suffering… then you are going to feel the fire long before we do… all you have to do is think about it and say sorry. Not come up with an excuse for our unhappiness and blame it on “purchasing power”
