#12The children now love luxury; they have bad manners, contempt for authority; they show disrespect for elders and love chatter in place of exercise. Children are now tyrants, not the servants of their households. They no longer rise when elders enter the room. They contradict their parents, chatter before company, gobble up dainties at the table, cross their legs, and tyrannize their teachers.
You know nothing.

#13It's simple divide and conquer. The 0.1% know you need somebody to blame for them squeezing you, so they tell boomers' it's millennials' fault and vice versa. It works pretty well: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=15844087 If that doesn't work, they can always blame immigrants, Islam or blacks.
It could be a conspiracy.
Or it could be too many column inches to fill and not enough time to fill them with something insightful.
Yeah, probably conspiracy.

#14Adam (from Adam Ruins Everything) does a really good talk at a marketing conference on why Millennials don't exist. Generational titles are never used to bring people up, but always tear a group of people down. Time magazine covers about Baby Boomers from decades ago are almost identical to those calling Millennials entitled today: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-HFwok9SlQQ
I agree. Also there are new dubious tags describing the Generation Z[1]. "Most of Generation Z have used the Internet since a young age, and they are generally comfortable with technology and with interacting on social media."

#15Well, shouldn’t things that can’t sell their stuff anymore fail?
In Denmark where I’m from, municipalities have grouped together to build open source software as a response to a market which fails to deliver the products we want.
The industry response has been lobbying the government and trying everything in courts because it’s viewed as “job theft”. Well, not all industry, some companies have figured out software as a service, open APIs and agile corporation is where it’s at, but the big old dogs are playing the blame game.
In 10 years the old dogs won’t be around, because just like the diamond industry, they ran out of things people wanted to buy.
I mean, you can blame millennials all you want, but the most watched sporting event in 2017 was still the CSGO finals featuring a Danish team. You either adapt or you disappear because the people who are into your aged ways are only going to continue dying.
