>>3669766Boomers are aware of their narcissist entitlement complex, so to stop their egos hurting, they project the same issues on millennials (which I'm assuming OP is) and insist our narcissistic entitlement complex is worse. I generally disagree except when I hear millennials talk about jobs. Born in 1988, so I'm squarely within the millennial generation, and after looking for decent work after college for 6 months, I took a job at a grocery store, making minimum wage. Yeah, it sucks, but the jobs our boomer parents and grandparents had no longer make a wage worth the work.
For example, my dad worked in a tire factory in the 70s. They had a lake house, a boat, a new car every couple of years, a big house, and money to throw around. When we put his salary into the BLS inflation calculator, he made the equivalent of $90,000 a year. I don't know anyone who makes that much doing ANYTHING, much less working in a factory.
But if that old man tells me to walk into a business "with your hat in your hand" and "just ask for work," I'm going to unironically boomer genocide.
