What a retarded rhetoric. They're F'ing engineers not marketeers. Of course they're going to need a good marketing department. It has nothing to do with product. You can package garbage and sell it to people provided you do the 'right' things. Your point proves absolutely nothing. However, it does create a lot of confusion, specially in your own damn mind.
You make a good point, except that it's based on about 5% of important considerations. So, overall it sounds great but it's absolute garbage.
It's so misleading to people with poor critical thinking skills which is the majority. Thanks for making our world a better place.
Sure, kick them while they're down. You're comparing against a bullshit list. As if those were the major issues that they're (and all the rest of us) are facing.
Please put some thought into your posts.
They have a right to complain. They inherited a more challenging (i.e. fucked up) world. I think that given time they will come through in some way though. Same thing happen with genx, we're the 'slacker generation' the Ms are the 'whining generation' so be it.
I think there's a lot of truth to that. However, like you said there's a lot of complexity. But that's not even the whole story, what about wealth disparity. Right now automation is creating unemployment, and the ones that benefit from that are very few, the rest of society get screwed. As far as I know there aren't any real alternatives to those who lost their jobs.
What I don't know is who's role is it to save those people. Is it the market? the government? I just don't know enough. Or should we just let them starve to death or live lives in poverty.
So what?! That's besides the point. It's only one point, which itself is dubious out of larger complexity.
I would put my bet on the robber barons and their minions (politicians.)
Ok, you corrected some points later. That sounds better. The thing is that it doesn't matter which party it is. They're not the people that wield the real power, that is, those that control the wealth. Follow the money, and then let's sit quietly and watch how we get robbed blind.
Exactly, I'm a getxr, and all I was hearing at the time of my early youth was, yeah... you guys are all a bunch o' slackers.
Then the computer revolution happened. It's also a mistake to blame on the M gen, they inherited a f'd up world, after all the thievery happened, bail outs, what not.
There needs to be a change in the system, our inept and greedy politicians, many of them anyway, and the ones that want to try to do the right thing can't. We are screwed. I really hope I'm wrong, but it's going to get a lot worse for a lot longer before it may get better.
Well, not exactly. It's still one of the wealthiest nations. The problem was that the so called 'trickle down' economics. When they sported that term I knew that this was meant as an insult. What they really meant was not that if you give more money to the 0.01%, eventually they will spend more and that will reach the lower classes all the way down to the bum leaving under the bridge, but, it was more like, let's pee on all this idiots and watch the piss trickle down on them and lets have a great laugh about it. Fuck these imbecile politicians and related thieves that conspired to... too much to type... figure out the rest...
Mostly good points. I agree with most of them. Except when you say 'you.' You caused all this ef-ups, and such. I think that you mean it as if these people you refer to had any say in the decision making process. Those decisions were made for us and continue to be made for us by a number of people we don't even know or see, and even when we do, it's not like we have a lot of power to effect any significant change.
Yes, it's very frustrating, but let's not get carried away and shift blame on the little or even median people. I'm a genXer and I see what the future is going to be like, I have two children and I'm planning on staying in the work force for a lot longer and my children are probably going to live with me, for as long as they need to or want. And I look forward to that, not an issue for me, on the contrary.
On the other hand, besides our country getting fucked by the fucking politicians and fucked up and greedy and corrupt corporations and a few individuals (Fuck them All) I think that part of this mess is also due to globalization. Not that there's anything wrong with it, it was a logical step. The issue with it is how it's being handled since now the current political and economic systems do not seem to be compatible with the changes we have experience. Our system is obsolete. It would be nice if we could adapt it to this changes. However, I'm not at all optimistic that this will happen so willingly.

What a dumb son of a b, itch.

Dumbest thing I've ever heard.
After genX (the slackers) came genY (the 'why bother') note: I'm genXer. It was just a joke, don't vote me down.
Here is my gift to you. I fail to see the relevancy of your point. Methinks I musts be a gifted.
Dream on!

I like this post. A lot. I wish more people could see this. I think I had 'seen' this, but was never able to articulate it.
Do you know where do you buy those? I was thinking Silicon Valley might have a sale.
Stats don't matter at all. It's all bullshit to confuse people. All you have to do is follow the money.
Bullshit! I make more now than I ever did before, and can now only afford a lot less than before.

What a simplistic way to look at things. Of course, it's all black and white, keep thinking that.

Nice try! But we can see through you. "It's the democ-rats fault" Yeah right. Your old boys can do no wrong. Fuck sakes!

Can you please grammar check your post? Thank You!
You're a fucking troll.

Troll much?
You blind man. That has nothing to do with any political party. The party system is just an illusion of choice.
