Intro: What Is Entitlement?
New Buzzfeed article: “Millennials Are Sharing The Things They Wish Older Generations Understood, and It's Kind Of Heartbreaking”Some quotes:“I can’t have kids, buy a house, and go on vacation even with my $100k+ salary. At least, not if I want to have money saved for emergencies."Sure you can, you just need to be smarter with your money"That the American economy is ...unbelievably slanted against younger generations. Because those with power and money exerted their influence to gain more power and money. So now all the resources have been sucked up to the top, and young people are left fighting over table scraps."Okay, you obviously know shit about money"Just because we're more aware of our mental health and allow ourselves to feel what we want to feel, it doesn't make us weak or 'snowflakes.' If anything, it makes us better at coping"Theoretically yes, but in practice just because you know you’re upset doesn’t make you any less of a whiny little bitch"Dad: 'Just go in and ask for a job and keep going every day until they give you one.' Me: 'They just tell you to submit a resume online and never respond.'"It’s just like dating online vs in person: If you go on Match.com and send a message to the hottest girl, don’t expect a response. She’s literally getting hundreds of messages per day. If you talk to her in person you’ll have a much better chance."I feel damn resentful when older folks tell me I should stay home with my kids. Like, yeah I’d love to if we could afford it, which we can’t. They act like it’s a choice to go back to work, when for a lot of moms, it’s not a choice."If you structure your life correctly, yes you can stay home with kids. Especially now with Zoom and online work options.And finally, the ultimate statement of entitlement:"There was hope in your time. You felt like you could change the world. Nowadays, our economy is fucked, our environment is fucked, our privacy is gone, our governments are pitting us against one another, and the planet is going to kill us off within the next century regardless of what we do about it. So don't look down on us as 'weak' or call us 'entitled' if we're a little pissed off and/or depressed about it, okay?"
