Re: Millennials disrespectful

Millennials are 25-40. While it was fun to hate on Millennials for such a long time, they are now raising babies, trying to buy a house in this crazy market and working their butts off. It's rather hard to be entitled when the median wage has barely moved from the 1980s yet housing costs and living costs have skyrocketed. They are also a generation that was pushed to borrow for their education so they have staggering debt that they have to pay off.

The generation you want to be disgusted at is Gen Z. See the 20 somethings that everyone loves to hate gets a new name every so often. We all love to hate the youth in their irresponsibility, lack of respect for law enforcement, and entitlement as they're still having to live at home during these times. They will, like all the generations before them, eventually grow up, take on responsibility and adapt to their ever-changing environment. While you're certainly entitled to your opinion, I think it's best to save judgement and damnation. We were all young, wild, and carefree once. (That being said, I do agree with your anger at the treatment of law enforcement by these particular Gen Zers. Not okay).
