Quit blaming millenials and Obama, and whoever else you think of next for your own failures.
Failure? Did I fail? Husband, father, homeowner, career, retirement, all check. I'm pretty awesome, actually. It's liberals that hold people back, with all their oppression and regulation.
He's just talking out of his @ss, just a washed up has been.
We're probably paying for his social security as we speak.
I'm pretty sure that 69Charger/Misanthrope83 is a xennial and just needs to put millennials down using tires and clichéd stereotypes to assuage his insecurities.
How is the opinion of one obscure blogger profound enough to make such a ridiculous generalization?
I know plenty of fully employed hard working millennials who are doing just fine.
I am also counting on them to be so terrified of this incompetent fool in the White House, that they will be out in droves to vote and get rid of the lazy bum.
You don't get to make a call like that, I've forgotten more about work and success than you've ever even learned.
Anyone who's forgotten that much is the last resource anyone should look to for sage advice.

Work smarter, not harder. In case you forgot that lesson as well.

Millennials are often accused of being impatient, self-entitled, narcissistic, tough to engage and impossible to lead. They place individuality ahead of community and they value extrinsic affirmation and constantly seek praise in order to get it. Modern society dishes it out to them much easier than it did to previous generations, thanks to the immediacy of social media. This generation is in constant need for likes, fans, followers, and heaps of praise on a constant basis. Because the highly addictive “likes” have become social currency, the millennials find any form of criticism hard to take. Shying away from criticism has meant that they shy away from real-world connections with peers and superiors who might dole it out.

Sure buddy, keep blaming a previous President, millenials, or people on food stamps, or whatever. It's all excuses.
Instead of looking to all the entrepreneurs that are making it in today's world and feeling inspired by what they do and taking action yourself to achieve your dreams, you blame a previous President for your own lack of gumption to get out there and take what's yours.
The fact that you would blame a prior President or a political group for your lack of courage just completely discredits any criticism you would have of these supposed lazy millenials or people who live off food stamps, or whatever new group you choose to blame your own problems on in these endless threads you keep creating.
You see, the rest of us, we make it no matter what, no matter who's in charge. We don't make excuses.

Your link is to a blog in South Africa. Maybe they have reason to be concerned over there. I wouldn't know.
Here in the US, the millennials are doing the best they can especially since they have had to overcome the Great Recession and its fall-out plus ever rising college tuitions and the enormous debt they must carry to pay off student loans.
I am tired of seeing all this undeserved bashing of America's young people. Their generation is just like any other generation of Americans - they have their strengths and their weaknesses, but their strength far outweighs any weakness they may have as a group. Millennials are America's future. We should be looking at ways to help them out. This on-going bashing on the part of people who are jealous because they are no longer young, but still as quick to judge as always is pathetic. I'm not one bit scared of the future because of our young folk.
The kids are OK!
