Which type of millennial are you?

PS: the Portlandia babe is hot.

I look at the "problems" of millennials the same way as I do our welfare underclass.

(That is after you strip away all the usual boilerplate "What will the next generation ever do with themselves?" existential angst that's gone on with the boomers, gen x & y, and now the millennials as a new passtime for filling column-inches in news publications, electronic or paper...)

Whatever the "real" concerns of millennials are, like the welfare underclass, I'm sure some of them are genuine, however, in the harshest economic terms, if you subsidize something, you get more of it. Therefore I do not condone any kind of buying into the "problems" or "unique nature" of millennials.

Millenials have, for the most part, learned to pull their pants all the way up.  None of them know how to wear either a hat or a cap properly.
They have pretty much gotten off my lawn and now congregate at places called Starbucks.

They either shop for groceries on line, use some sort of delivery service, or at least stay out of the stores between midnight and 4 AM, thus leaving me to deal with The People of WalMart for space in the checkout line.

From what little attention I have paid to the financial end of Millenial-hood it seems they pay taxes.  Maybe not much, but some.

Thus, no problem.

stay safe.

I think the problems of millenials are mostly the economic chickens of the boomers coming home to roost on their watch.

True,  to a degree.

OTOH, that's like arguing that Johnsons "Great Society" would have been "good" for those suffering the Great Depression.
