In 1960 a high school diploma got you a factory job for life, a car, a house, and enough to support a family. Today a high school diploma will get you fries with that McDouble.
AsiniusNaso because the world has become saturated with people with college degrees and none of those are for skilled labor jobs barely anyone goes to trade or vocational schools
Except for specialized positions which require a specific license or extra training, you can still go get a factory job, it just means you are gonna work a crap schedule and have no social life.
Maybe? If your willing to accept that. I dropped out of high school, learned a trade and have a little house, car, kid and enjoy life. The problem is there this thought that people deserve more then that for some reason.
My dad paid for his whole undergrad by sweeping floors throughout college. A job sweeping floors today can barely pay for an electric bill, let alone the cost of a four-year college education.
After adjusting for inflation the cost of attending a university is more than 1,000% of what it was in 1976, whereas minimum wage is about 75% of what it was in 1976.
my boyfriend went to college at UNO (university of new orleans) for a chemistry degree, took him 5 years due ti an elective. he got scholarships that paid for his entire education and has no student loan dept. he is 7 year younger then i am. he also didnt get a job in his field some 4 years later. he just got lucky. A lot of the problem is people thinking they NEED a college education because the parents expect them. most baby boomers didnt go to college. I was born right as the generation shifted and just fall into the bracket. most kids my generation were raised to be the first in the family to go to college. a lot of families worked a lot of trade jobs to support their families. sometimes working more then 1 job. a lot of the work was waiting tables, being bus boys, working in construction, etc. in the 80s the economy was booming so there were more higher paying jobs, affordable housing. once bush went into office our econ tanked, through mismanagement etc. in housing a lot of McMasions were built just for investment homes, that you would move into, live in and sell high rinse repeat. where back then you typically grew up in 1 home, which you later inherent. things we dont think about is the 90s did see a spike in teen pregnancy so much it was called an epidemic. so you had a generation of teen parents trying to raise kids.
Juliana Nicosia Dont die for other people and go to war to have sex with sex slaves without knowing it... that shouldve been told to baby boomersnand all generations before that. Human sacrifcation, suicidal wars, pilaging, raping... satsnic ritual abuse. Pushing propoganda, lies, cover ups, corruption, blaming the new generation.
Baby boomers were set up well for life. Everything came together for them in their generation. Largely in part by the generation before who had been through the great depression and did not want the next generation to go through what they went through . They think somehow they are the only generation in history to realize that working hard would bring automatic success. If this is true,how come people in sweat shops are not business owners in Missouri? Fact is, the generation before provided shade, baby boomers took the shade of future generations and have such a big generation population to keep themselves in power. Woman once said that if millenials worked during the summers like she did they could pay for college themselves. Says it all for how out of touch baby boomers are.
Baby Boomers have been set up for success it's harder for millennials make a living. Millienals won't have social security and will have to work for the rest of there lives.
@@dustin802 you don’t know people situations. A whole ton of people who wouldn’t work due to safety concerns were also crying about how hard it was to get fast food... you can’t treat people like crap and simultaneously demand their services
What made me laugh is... I want to be a contractor but I'm complaining about need health care and having a hard time affording a house. Well I guess you ain't contracting enough.
Sarah Hoogenboom i was literally like “hm lemme look at the comments to see if anyone else would notice how she keeps saying she owns businesses” and it was the first one that popped up 😂😂
Stinky Monkey fossil fuels, carbon emissions, mass waste production. All of these things fuel the greenhouse effect in our atmosphere, which is warming parts of our oceans enough for species to change location, and ice caps that have lasted for centuries to melt. Science has proved this time and time again. What’s your evidence?
Tell that to your grandmother who survied WWII and to your mother who survived during the Cold War. I bet they were bitching using the same phrase, too.............
I calculated that college student now have to work three times longer for basic college expenses than someone in 1980. That's not even factoring in rent, car, insurance, basic necessities, etc, because those have skyrocketed in price because of inflation. The federal minimum wage has stayed the same for over a decade now.
There's a difference between working hard and working long hours. Working hard means building towards a long term goal with some short term pain. If you're just working long shifts at McDonald's that's not called hard work, that's called being too lazy to learn skills that can improve your situation.
I'm 32 and I no longer work hard from my personal experience hard work is seldom rewarded, 5 years a go I even changed career from being a chef to driving a truck just because the job is less physically demanding with the added bonus that it pays more and I get weekends off. I used to work very hard but I'm just too old and tired for that nonsense these days, I'll do what I'm contractually obliged to do no more no less.
@@ctb1977 What if they're working those shifts to pay for college? At least the percentage that they have to pay out of pocket. I don't recommend anyone work at McDonald's just for the heck of it.
I currently make more money than my mom has in her entire life. She owns a house. I cant even get a studio apartment. She has no high school diploma, i have an associates. I live in a 2 bedroom apt in a shady part of town with 3 people in it. Rent in my area goes up by hundreds every 6 months. My job refuses to pay me more, and finding a new job means starting at the bottom again as a contractor where i will be paid even less. I have already been homeless twice. I work 50 hours a week. At my age, my mom had me, and she wonders why i dont have kids yet. "Millenials are lazy and have it easy" my ass.
The problem is that it was much easier to find jobs back then and people back then were able to afford to pay rent and buy their car with min. Wage job.
I live in a 3000 square foot house in a Houston suburb, it cost 200k. People think it’s overpriced because they only look in the most overpriced cities, it’s a big country, look around and it’s not hard to find a good deal.
@Winter X Where do you live that has your rent going up hundreds every 6 months? You should check your county zoning laws for rental agreemants for the grandfather policy or negotiate for a contract where your leace is for an extended time and you agree to stay contingent on your rent not fluctuating
You've no idea how much I wanted to see this. As a millennial who's the child of baby boomers and has had predominantly baby boomers teachers in college, it's so hard to get your point across to a completely different generation.
Les Anderson baby boomers end in the mid-late 60’s, millennials go from 1980-1995 (give or take). So could be for the end of each generation (there’s a gap of around 30 years)
Les Anderson my mother born around 63 and i was 89. But most of my parents generation just doesn't care to actually understand. They just listen and say follow your dreams. Without realizing they didn't set many of us up politically or economically to do that. many just work and wait to retire.
Andrew Ament Then I guess the dream you should follow is changing that political system. But lets be honest, just one generation didnt eff up our political system. Thats as dumb as blaming millennials for everything.
dogdonut3 I am not an english major but i didn't say it was entirely their fault in that comment. If i meant that i would have said it. I am active in politics and work to let others know who they are voting for in the district i reside. Some don't care and keep voting for the same people then continue to complain for years. Many my age wont even listen or go vote to change stuff at the level that actually matters. Its a big disgusting mess and when you try to help people just shrug and say oh well. Best i can do is talk with local people and try to change opinions that way and keep voting how i like. Cheers. 🍻
sonne carver oh idk maybe how people were paid more across the board back in the 60s my grandpa was a sweeper starting at 3.25 an hour which is 19 hr today with inflation at a starting job. Housing loans, banks loans, business loans were low interest and easy to get back then
Mr.ThunderChief just because people are younger doesn’t mean they shouldn’t get the right to talk about how they feel about life, how they are treated, and the world they live in😂😂
Mr.ThunderChief as apart of the gen z community. Age has nothing to do on how u view live, by the age of 5 u know what’s morally right and wrong and by the age of 10 can form a valuable opinion about many circumstances but I’m just 14 so what do I know😂
Mr.ThunderChief I am a Gen Z and I can tell you age has nothing to do with experiencing life because I’ve been through things since I was younger. You millennial and boomers think you’re better than us because you don’t lip sync and do dances on tiktok but we are the ones who are using social media to spread awareness especially during blm.
I understand what the problem is. We boomers didn't get what we have without making sacrifices. I see Millennials living in $1500/mo apartments, and complaining they can't get ahead. Cut your costs in half, work A LOT, and you can have those things in time.
Jim Heath 86% of this country's population lives in and around urban areas. I don't think that you understand that the rent for a basic (non-luxury) studio apartment in a city neighborhood (that is NOT in NYC, L.A., Chicago, Atlanta, Dallas, San Francisco or D.C) that isn't completely crime ridden, doesn't have vacant/burned out houses, and doesn't have a roach or rat/mouse problem, and is near public transportation (because you can't afford a car, maintenance and insurance) will cost you at least $900/mo. And a basic one bedroom starts at $1200. Basic meaning: heat/ac (maybe), utilities not included, coin-op washers and dryers in the basement. No elevators, no in unit washer/dryer, no gym, no private parking. For the aforementioned large cities, double the cost of everything for the basic apartments and triple it for the luxury apartments. Cities, especially large cities are where the jobs are.
+Jim Heath and that doesn't include food, gas, and other small bills. Basically, you want me to stare at paint drying as a form of entertainment.... Along with college tuition charging couple hundred every month.
Jim Heath, god forbid you don't think we are making sacrifices. We are risking near god everything to live anywhere close to your generation. And a lot of us can't. I'm working at least 64+ hours every week. I don't socialize. I recently got a new used car. My car insurance ever year by myself costs $3500. That is the cheapest. The second cheapest option is car insurance for $5,000. And my car isn't even worth $5000. How much would it cost if I could go back under my mom's insurance plan? $1200 lol to register 2 cars. I could just pay that for her and it would be literally thousands cheaper. God damn sick joke. I could then pay for the cell phone bill, the electricity and whatever else for her if I didn't get the car. Except, I gave my previous car to my mom so she can get to places because she can't afford to buy a car. Not even a car that is over 20 years old. I told you, we will sacrifice near god damn everything. Selfish prick... Hell, I introduced her to netflix to cut her costs down. No more home telephone or cable. Just internet and netflix.
"Y'all aren't entitled to anything" "We just want what y'all got" Yep, fr. Also, Millennial: Explains company policy of why they can't do something, aka just doing their job Boomer: I want to speak to your manager!!
@John Taylor Kinda hard to get a job when your generation screwed it up for us. Nice job raising the generation you bash everyday. Shows what type of parent you are. Typical boomer 😂
These six individuals have my respect. Each had insightful and meaningful discussions to make. This kind of inter-generational cooperation is what we need!
I didn't think they got a representative sample though. They're producers/actresses, musicians, business owners, etc... who among them actually represented the median profile of their generation?
I think it is partly because these are volunteers for the project. I feel like the more divisive people wouldn't want to talk to the other generation to begin with
My big complaint with this assortment of people is that all of the millennials are comparatively high ranking and rich, or relatively carefree and doing what they love regardless. An entrepreneur with a successful business, a communications specialist (which I assume is in marketing and thus high paying. Even though her friends are on contract work, she isn't), and a guy in the arts who's doing what he loves and not caring so much about making money. Where are the millennials that work two-three jobs and still barely survive? Where are the millennials working unpaid overtime with no benefits? Where are the millennials who haven't been allowed to work full time because no jobs hire them for it? Where are the millennials with >$50,000 in student debt their parents forced them into? Where are the millennials who have been applying for jobs at every local business for the past year and gotten nothing? Virtually every American millennial I know fits into one of those categories, if not multiples of them, and the only working one that doesn't is a government-paid emergency dispatcher. The only people that don't "work hard" that I know are ones that are dealing with severe, untreated mental or physical barriers. Bipolar disorder, panic attacks, autism, gender dysphoria, sciatica, etc. Compared to how much my parents worked, their parents worked, and most baby boomers I've seen worked, millennials work way harder for much less and end up far more burned out as a result. My dad whines all the time about having to drive through traffic to work 8 hours a day, 5 days a week at a job he's held for the past 30 years, and drinks himself into a stupor on Saturdays as a result. He gets full benefits. He makes $130,000 a year. His job is as secure as secure can be, and he works doing something he's liked enough to do for 30 years. Most baby boomers I know are either in the same state he is, are retired and happy, or got laid off at some point in the past decade and haven't held a job since because now they're dealing with the current working environment. The "millennials" were hardly a valid representation of what millennials across the United States have to deal with, just like I would have preferred they get at least one white, male, conservative baby boomer. Like my dad.
I agree with the millennials on this one. By teaching us as children that we should go to college, get our degree, find love, get married, and have kids. By teaching us this, they’re hindering our adaptability in life my mentally gridlocking us into the idea of if I don’t do this, I’m a failure and a disappointment to everyone and I will fail.
I disagree. The number predictor of poverty is having children out of wedlock. Its not "locking your creativity". Its being smart and taking responsibility.
So true! I've always told my boys if they can't find a job doing something they like/love, then find a job that pays you enough so you can still do it. Oh, that's my sister who said that. =)
Carlos Dominguez thanks god I don’t need you to justify what am I saying and doing in my life But thanks for your corrections anyway it’s important as I am not a native English speaker
Carlos Dominguez I just wonder what incredible object is just shoved so far up your ass that you had enough time to share your opinion with a random girl on the internet because you don't approve of something she said...you are either her father or twelve.
@John Taylor A boomer criticizing someone else for not being caring about the future generations is just about the funniest thing I've ever heard lmao You boomers do nothing but pollute and give yourself tax cuts, you had the easiest life of any American generation and you think you worked hard. Its adorable
Alysa Lane I feel bad for Gen Z and even worse for Gen Alpha born 2012 to present. This is the reason I’m still single with no kids. I don’t know that I want to bring more kids into this world the way it is right now. And I’m a older Millennial born in 85.
11:34 - "We're not entitled! We want what you got!" PREACH! That is probably the best thing to say for anyone who wants to talk about 'entitled Millenials'. What do they want? The stability, purchasing power, security, and opportunity that the Boomers had.
John Taylor I mean yeah but instead of messing up the economy and works we’ll be the generation to actually try and fix it. Anything else you have to say Mr wise and all knowing boomer. I’m listening so tell me
Jacob Lyns This video is edited from several different interviews at different times with different people. They edited it together so it sounds like I repeated myself a lot. And notice I did not say successful businesses, because they were not
Toni Johnson i expected u to be a hardcore conservative (i lean conservative) but was pleased to see that u were more open minded than a typical older adult and actually saw the difficulties of being a younger generation.
“i think a baby boomer is someone who is taught to work hard” babe, a baby boomer is someone born within a certain time frame - it has nothing to do with personality.
I'm part of Gen X. I was taught to work hard and fight for a life I'm happy to live. We sacrifice and do everything we can to make our lives and the lives of our Gen Z children as amazing as possible. Also, the boomer who said that admitted that she had her college paid for and her family made it possible for her to have options. She doesn't know real struggle
6:00 The look on the faces of the millennials tho Leslie: “We have inherited a planet on the brink of ecological collapse, and nobody seems to want to do anything about it.” Toni: “I think social media is the problem. You can’t text message break up!”
I strongly do agree with her though. I'm a millennial myself and it is so heartbreaking how nobody wants the socialize at all in person. It is such a lonely world out there and I feel like that's just as much a problem because it's creating a societal breakdown.
Wynter Fox I'm not agreeing or disagreeing with you, but there are 28 million small businesses in the U.S.. Of course you're not gonna hear about this random guys business successful or not haha
Baby boomers: **able to get a lifetime job right out of high school with no experience that paid for healthcare, allowed them to afford a nice home and support an entire family. College tuition was extremely cheap** Millennials: **going to college is very competitive, outrageous home and apartment prices, and even more outrageous health care costs. Extremely difficult to find a job, even after obtaining a college degree that costed over 100k. Drowning in a terrible economy that the BOOMERS caused** Boomers: "You millennials don't ever work hard. Social media has destroyed your generation!!" Millennials: "...and somehow you guys think WE are the entitled ones?" So infuriating.
So where did you come up with this fantasy that you could get a job out of high school that would pay for all those things you mentioned? I Graduated from high school in 1976 and it sure the hell wasn't like you described.
Baby boomers were set up well for life. Everything came together for them in their generation. Largely in part by the generation before who had been through the great depression and did not want the next generation to go through what they went through .

@@christopherdeen5275 My grandpa's company gave their workers apartments to live in. They were also able to choose if it wasn't big enough for their family. He finished only high school when he got that. He still lives there. I lived in a rented apartment when I went to college and barely had money for food because the rent was almost as high as my income. I mean older generation had problems too, but existence wise, it's harder for us.
I feel like what people don't seem to understand is that Millennials are a lot older than people think. They are literally between 24 and 40. There are 40 year old millennials.
and i feel like that’s the issue with “labeling generations” i’m 24 and i’m not on the same level with my actions or thoughts as a 40 yr old and vise versa. not even a 30 yr old!
@Gray Kin I've never understood marriage. it's fine if you can afford it, but honestly it's just like $10.000+ for a party and a piece of paper that says "I love you". and if you want to break up, the hassle of divorce costs more money and who gets what, etc.
Ya that's one thing I can't stand is when they call millennials lazy. It does really depend on who you meet because all the millennials I know are working very hard for their future, myself included. There was a period where I had to work night shifts at an apple warehouse from 3pm-till 2am and then wake up at 6am for school and stay their all day to get my homework and other projects done. I'm not here to whine lol I'm just hear to say give us more credit. Lets be honest we are living in different times. There are things that have made it a bit easier on us, but there are also things that's made it harder.
300k net I have a Millennial . My Dad owned a Construction company working 7 days a week , sometimes 4am to 10 pm some days .I got my work ethic from my father , I Own two of my dream cars aswell > Im smart with money and own shares . I don't own new cars
I think the lazy part comes from a different version of hard work. Back then working two and three jobs to attain your goals was normal, schooling wasn’t pushed as much... hard work was, making money right out of high school was more important... so I think they refer to millennials as lazy because they tend to pro long the work part by going to school and then taking a sub par job and work only one job at that but then also complain about not having enough money. From one end it’s simple, work more hours, get a better job or get two jobs, while the millennial side tends to add that they are doing school and working or they are working a job not in their field so it doesn’t pay great, but also don’t acknowledge that all of it is personal choice... you chose to work multiple jobs or you chose to go to school and take on a simple job to wait for your dream job... that’s a really general way of explaining it... but I’m just pretty sure that’s why millennials are considered lazy.
She's also the person to degrade people for working at mcdonalds or walmart. But turn around and say any job has dignity. But also calls those jobs shitty and tell people "no wonder you work at McDonald's"
I feel like that final exchange perfectly encapsulates the majority of Boomer’s sentiment toward younger generations. “Don’t worry, you’ll survive,” they say as they pay us less, raise cost of living, and take away the few benefits we had remaining.
I have to disagree with the woman in black on the first point. As a disabled woman, we don’t get “hand outs”. It takes so much time and energy and effect to fill out the reams of paperwork necessary to get disability. I was BORN disabled. You have no idea how much I would LOVE to even work at Disney Store in the mall. But when I applied, I was interviewed on the spot. My power wheelchair could not fit behind the counter. And they didn’t know what else to do with me since I cannot walk. Even if I had been hired, Disability/SSI takes $1 for every $2 you make. Whatever you make at work gets deducted from disability benefits. Any increase in income counts against you in subsidized housing. The system is built to keep disabled people poor. I’m currently in college taking classes online toward my Psychology degree. I have a 3.2 GPA and do freelance writing whenever possible. Because my disability is permanent, I will always qualify for benefits on the basis of my medical records. However, I’m working hard to make sure that’s not my only income for the rest of my life. My disabled dad worked from age 14 until he was told to stop by his doctors. He often worked either 40-50 hours in a factory or had a second job. Don’t imply disability equals laziness. We want to work but we can’t. And the system stacks as much against us as possible.
42 jade if you want to go to school, go. There are SO many online programs that are legitimately ran by well-known universities. There’s night classes too. . If I can do it, so can you. Most of the people in my classes are working parents.
With her statement and perspective I see what you mean, but growing up in the same area as her I understand what she means it's not "disabled get handouts" its people who aren't disabled and just don't choose to work is what she's referring too. It's different when someone NEEDS the help vs other who 'mooch' when fully capable of working. I dont mean to offened anyone this just happens to be the comunity around our area.
irk? I also want to have a job and move out, but it's difficult from disabled people to get a job, and housing is overprized. And taxest are also rising, so some people are afraid of moving out.
I was born disabled too. I’m full deaf. I had hard time to find a job. No one want to hire me. One day I asked employee from Sephora if they are hiring. Employee talked to her manager then manager came to me and said “you can’t work here. You can work at JCPenney store”. I was disappointed because I wanted to work at Sephora and I’m makeup artist. So when I walked away from them then I looked at them. They were making fun of me like gibberish sign language. I had experience to work with hearing clients and I had no issues with communication. I worked with models for fashion show, actors, and random people. So I decided to make my own business. It’s not easy to start with my business. Where I can get money? Im on SSI but it is not enough for me. So I decided to work as deliver food. I hope that I will get there. I agreed with you. Not all of disability are lazy.
I'm gen z and I'm concerned about the fact that when I'm older I won't be able to experience a planet that is healthy and I'm growing up where all I hear is predictions on how long the planet will last and they all are predicting irreversible changes by the time I'm in early college stages.... help save the planet with us so we can at least experience our 20s.
I am a millennial, and I used to feel that we were alone in dealing with these issues, and that older generations struggled to relate or empathize. The constant criticisms from the boomer generation didn’t help. However, I finally came to realize that our gen z peers felt the same way, and I am so proud to watch my younger peers stand strong in their passion and empathy. I’m sorry that we weren’t able to make the changes that we wanted to by this stage, but i’m hopeful that we can do it together. A lot of millennials look at gen z’s and see hope, and we are very proud of you. Trust me when I say that when you are ready to step out and make a change, I am here with you. We will make a powerhouse team!
The millennial with the glasses hit the nail on the head: "We're not entitled, we just want what you guys have - the basics of the american dream." EXACTLY. Boomers like to act like millenials are lazy and entitled because we don't get everything we want, yet in reality we're not asking or working for anything more then they were. We want the house, the car, and the family. The difference is your generation was able to get these things around the age we are now, however its starting to seem impossible for us to gain these things through traditional methods because of how messed up the industries are. Jobs aren't paying as much and house costs are through the roof, it would take us atleast 10 more years to afford the things y'all were able to get in your late 20s-early 30s. This is why we don't settle for regular 9 to 5 jobs anymore, not because we don't want to work but because those jobs aren't enough anymore! The people that succeed in our generation are the people that became entrepreneurs and found their OWN way to success, and that's what more of us are going to have to do to get ahead.
This comment is pure GOLD that’s what I try to get my mom to understand! The older generation just focus on “suck it up and do what you have to do to survive” and a lot of them settled. Yea it was easier to do that 30 years ago! But today is a struggle and I will never settle!
John Taylor the point is that many millennials are working from paycheck to paycheck, have thousands of student debt and are working multiple jobs. We just want what boomers had before, loyal companies, living wages, benefits. Boomers could pay for college with a summer job. We will probably be living with it for the rest of our lives, let alone your expectations of us having a house and kids at 25
@John Taylor A single income household could afford a house, car and bills. College could be paid for with jobs boomers worked during the summer. You paid into social security and got it when you reached the age to qualify. A company hired you and gave you health insurance and you worked there for a majority of your life. None of those are possible today. The younger generation works more jobs and more hours in a week to not be able to put a downpayment on a simple house, not be able to afford insurance (of course no benefits from their multiple jobs), and will not see social security. Also the majority are in debt because the generation before them told them they HAD to go to college to get jobs. Your bachelors doesn't get you an entry level position. You masters MAY get you that position. May.
I'm a Gen Xer...and I'll tell you...the Baby Boomers are the wealthiest most entitled generation in HISTORY. A lot of Millennials are hard-working and smart. But what is there for them to work for? Most middle-class jobs have been shipped overseas (by Baby Boomers, I might add). I bought my first house when I was 23. Show me people who are 23 now who are doing that.
kichigaisensei I’m 22 and still living with my mom. When she was my age, she worked and bought herself a mobile home. I have a medical condition where I can’t work AND go to school at the same time. I rely heavily on financial aid and I’m getting my masters. I know I will have debt up the wazoo, but I’ve learned to accept it.
i worked over 10 different jobs since 17, im 27 now. I recently loss a TEMP to hire job because I asked one of the boss when will my review be? it was supposed to be 3 month fling then reviewed, it turned into almost 7 months! I asked them a few times, and pressed them about it. I felt like a rug snatched under me, I went to work everyday. Only called out due to car issues but its like damn man, all that for nothing. No insurance, no pension. I had to prove myself all that time for NOTHING. It's like i can't even trust these companies...
yeah, I really liked her too. Black Americans, most of them were really decent people back in the day.All Americans had a dream and a vision of how it could be, but I think Democrats damned it, screwed it up, and now it's way worse.I'm said Millenials and generation z have had to inherit this, because boomers didn't do this.
Did anyone else get pissed off a little bit when the lady spoke about social media and getting upset and online relationships as what makes millenials lives harder? I am so far in debt with my student loan and working so much to pay it off and studying at the same time that I dont have the time to be upset because someone on social media said my nose was big 😂
But social media has been linked to higher anxiety and depression and honestly as a millennial I can say that most people in my generation don't interact much anymore because social media is a crutch to real socialisation.
@@Lookatmeshine But did the social media create anxiety and depression or was it always there and those who have that are more drawn to socially interact NOT face to face? Maybe it's just that those with anxiety, depression, introversion-- not that they can't be social just to not be social all that much--, and socially inept people have a higher chance to not interact in the outside world as much making it seem that it's caused a dilemma when it's always been there. And now that there's a place they all hang out around makes the numbers seem bigger? Or is it both, that it's trapping people who do have anxiety and/or depression and keeping them at that state? Could there be any benefits they can get in social media to improve if they hang out with the right people on social media? There's a lot of things one could look into.
"We don't necessarily feel like you guys set us up for success." THIS resonated so much with me. I couldn't agree more. My father is a narcissistic babyboomer who didn't even attend college and is the first to judge if a person doesn't attend college or struggle through college. He doesn't seem to understand in depth how mental health is as important as physical health. He comes from a generation that's more religious, sexist, toxic etc. How the hell do these parents think they're setting us up for success? Of course, not every single babyboomer is like that, but you get the idea.
A large majority of people in my family did not qualify for college despite the fact that they're successful but they criticize people who either don't go or don't qualify but wanted to like they actually went to college themselves, it's crazy
I am a Generation X ,and I feel the same with the lad who said,”I feel like you all didn’t set us up for success” I have uttered those same sentiments.
I really liked what the one girl said about lack of incentive to work harder. I'm gonna just use wage as an example. I went to college and now have almost 50k in debt, housing prices in my area are expensive, jobs say the want 20 years of experience but will pay 15/hour. Leadership and executive roles, many of which are held by baby boomers have created an economy where even when you do work hard, get educated, and try to be responsible you're incredibly likely to fail. I sometimes feel so overwhelmed by just how bleak the future can be. I have a decent job, but am terrified that if I loose it I have to find another that pays just as well to even survive. Baby boomers grew up in a time when job hopping was not only easy, but when you could loose a job and not really have to worry for a good few months. I make 40k/year, am single, with no children, and still live paycheck to paycheck. Not because I partied all of my teen year or because I am irresponsible with money, but because of student loans, paying for health insurance that my employer doesn't provide, and paying for medical bills that I didn't ask for. this story isn't uncommon for a lot of use millennials.
dwade this is not a great line of thinking. Not everyone can have a top income job. Whether it’s geographic restriction, health restriction, or what ever else can come up. Your comment smells of privilege. Saying that people just aren’t working hard enough or making the right career choice implies they had a huge amount of choices. My moms health tanked and I had to move back home to help support her, but you’re right, I should just make a better career choice and throw her to the curb. I’m sure it’s my fault the local economy is horrible too.
Student loans in the US are crippling. I didn’t realize how bad it was till I worked with a bunch of Americans while living abroad. No one should have to work half their lives paying for their education. Education is a right not a privilege.
Too real... I can't even find a job with a bachelor's degree and two years experience... 'cause I need at least four or five years to even be considered.
"I dont want to survive, I wanna thrive." I believe this statement pretty much sums up Millenials and every generation after. Also, "I don't want to exist, I want to live."
Wish they wouldve went further and talked about how baby boomers could work an entry level job for a summer to pay for their college tuition. How drastically different healthcare costs were. I saw a hospital bill for a birth that was like 100 bucks. And now we are required to pay for our health care. People cant even afford medication. They could work an entry level job and afford a home. People these days are so indebted because of their college loans. You cant just have one parent work anymore and live comfortably. There isnt a state where a person can work fulltime and afford rent. Inflation has gone up so very much and some baby boomers dont realize how privileged they were in that regard.
Thug Life Bear Well most depression and anxiety is caused by the insane amount of pressure that schools and parents put on us. Social media has caused some problems, but it’s not as bad as boomers like to think.
@@reesejames7240 I know this is a pretty old generation, but speaking of entitlement: the rise in depression has absolutely no way anything to do with social media, school or parents. Depression in the west is far higher than say depression in India, yet in India people have it far worse. All the things that we can complain about in our society today, we can only complain about because we don't have to worry about survival. Food and shelter is a guarantee for many. The rise in depression has a lot to do with the difference in how we raise our children. When young minds lack obstacles and a sense of competition they will re-direct that stress onto trivial things.
Maybe its just me being too cynical but these episodes and conversations have the opportunity to be amazing but they just never fulfilled their potential. > They never discuss the core principles and philosophies behind the question - for example in the 'my children will grow up in a better world than I did' nobody asked or even tried to define what is 'better,' what the aim of societies and the world should be, what this utopia world vision is were working towards? Instead I just heard cliches like 'you've not set us up for success' ... 'the expectations are changing' ... > There's very little quantitive and objective substance to the conversation. They all use vague emotive language, referencing personal experiences and whilst this is great, if you want to have a really interesting and thought provoking conversation you need some 'meat' so to speak. For example, in Steven Pinkers TED talk he discusses societal progression over the years by actually analysing facts and figures. Sorry to be so critical, just feel these videos have so much potential for changing perceptions yet you just end up with a bunch of people saying the same lines we've all heard before :(
I don't think that was ever the objective of these conversations. I think they didn't want conversation to get too analytical and number heavy. They just wanted to get to the common ground through the basics. Get just deep enough to recognize that we have some type of unity and civility
They are taking average Americans with some success. Even though it is not engaging like Pinker, we know what we think, feel and concern about more than before the video. Pinker is an expert and thinker. The people in this video are typical Americans within a niche. You have a point though; we can always strive to know more.
Neptune - I think you hit on the most important point - conversations about politics often get really heated and consequently the discussions turn from really understanding each others view points and logic to just a shouting match. This is why its so important that the people in the videos really get to discuss the root philosophy and logic behind the opponents views and understand how and why they differ! Instead what we see in this video is the two sides saying they're two points of views (all be it in a calm manner which is some process at least) but it isn't really of any value for any genuine understanding and appreciation of others, and therefore critique and questioning of ones own views.
Real discussion, and depth of questioning/ conversation doesn't have to take any more time than what we see in this video. The only difference is instead of asking and stating surface level points about WHAT you believe, you talk about the moral and philosophical principles behind those beliefs. I don't know if you've ever listened to a podcast called the 'Moral Maze' but in it they are able to get a person onto the show and really question and evaluate their position in less than 5 minutes, so I think its not true to say it would take too long.
JMakes with that in mind what about the baby boomers that were mentally ill, and as a result treated poorly and hospitalized for easily treated illnesses today. Domestic abuse victims had little resources, addicts/alcoholics had very little options in terms of treatment as well, where as today we have fully established and accessible programs (12 step, or inpatient) and less stigma surrounding these circumstances.Every generation has a struggle with poverty. Although I agree with most of what you’re saying, I think it’s very naive to only consider the economic stand point. It just doesn’t feel right to me to complain about our situation, and claim we have it worse knowing we can’t group all baby boomers or millennials. It’s too broad of a statement.
I will say I do think the STRATEGY for success has definitely changed compared to the boomer generation. It was more of a “Work Hard”. Straight forward direction. Now for millennials, it leans more toward “Work Smart”. Find the best idea and/or meet the right people before the next one does.
I agree, a lot of that shifting came in the 1980s, when corporate America moved from the managerialism form of corporate governance, where a corporation was viewed as a social institution; but after the 1980s, corporate america moved towards shareholder value as the ideal mode of corporate governance, where the corporation is now viewed as a nexus of individual business contracts.
Weird that nobody is concerned about the environmental problems. Lack of rain, flashfloods, loss of ecosystems, incl. animals and plants. In Germany we have 70% less insects then 20 years ago and it's affecting everything else. We're supposed to feed birds throughout the summer now, because the few food bird parents find is barely enough for their kids, but not for them. Also lots more natural disasters. Does seem way more pressing to me than national debt, as it's not reversible once it's too late. Once a species goes extinct it can't be brought back and it has an effect on all other species that depend on it - including humans.
tinyruin I totally agree! In California, where I’m from, the fire season has been getting longer every year and we are barely above drought levels. Also in Morocco, where I am staying now, we have had considerably more rain these past few months than we ever have had in past years. I feel that weather patterns all over the world are getting more extreme every year
actually the musician pointed that out I think when she said that sorry we're gonna leave problems for you guys she meant that sorry for leaving you guys with the environmental problems that we caused
Have y'all worked with entitled millennials that throw a temper tantrum on the floor ? It's awkward. A hospital at that. Refusing to pick up jobs and sit on their butts in the break room. The patients suffer due to them. From my experience it's always been the millennial that's the problem.
I can't speak for them, but from what I've been told is that some are tired of being run down time and time again, if they work harder than their co. Everyday while their co. Doesn't do much and they slack off a little, they verbal unapproval while their lazy coworkers get by without any consequences. Acknowledge a good worker when you have one, and be fair and just
@@LaCajunWash That can be said about the Xers that are at my previous jobs and the Hospital one. It's the same attitude the Millennials had in school. I went to school with them. It's like some of us grew up but the majority didn't. They still want their way. They'll ruin people's days by writing them up for little to no reason. The boss/bosses will call you in for something you didn't even do and the person that wrote you up is there and can cry on command to make themself out to be a victim. This isn't just one of those millennials, it's the majority of them. It's disappointing that they're the same way they were back in school.
@@TheLegendarySuperSaiyanBroly Can't relate. All I hear is baby-boomers whining about us, while sitting on their arses all day. I even had baby boomer teachers who did absolutely nothing to actually teach us and hated us for no reason. Guess it's just the entitlement that is rooted within their generation. From my experience, it's always been the baby=boomer that's the problem.
My dad barely talked about it with me tbh. He didn’t pay for my college or buy me an apartment. I actually stayed with him until I got my life together.
Pretty much. Shit advice. I’m fortunate to have been very lucky and relatively privileged. If it weren’t for those 2 things, hard work wouldn’t have gotten me nearly as far.
Boomers will sit outside a store 30 mins before it’s open and get mad at us for not opening the store when THEY get there. Many are definitely entitled. Lol Happened all the time when I worked retail.
Same unfortunately. The boomers I worked with constantly messed with my work, cause they couldn't understand my working process. And actually made it slower...when I did it my way I got yelled at. Wtf!? You're not my boss and if the boss is fine with how I do my tasks, who are you to scream at me...Well I didn't do smalltalk outside of the nessecary with one anymore and she went to our boss and demanded I should be fired. Luckily I did my work well so all he said was: I wouldn't talk with you as well if you screamed at me. Eat this boomer XD Over the years I met 3 beings like that at work. All were boomers. Sorry for my english, not a native speaker.

It's crazy ,I'm From Morocco ( north africa ) I'm considered as a Millennial also and we are facing the same problems as the Millennials in USA , for instance , my Parents had full time job , a car , a house by the time they were 27/24 , and they had only High school diploma ( my mom didn't even graduate hs ) , and yet me , I'm a software engineer and at the age of 28 can't even afford a comfy apartment ! But Hey ! we have high speed internet and Netflix ! AMIRITE ? .....
My parents had free TV, and one landline. Most of us spend more on internet, TV and cell phones that our parents spent on their house payments and car payments combined.
It may not be as big of a problem but it is a legitimate one. When the Great Recession happened the debt was a lot smaller so the Obama administration was able to fund the stimulus package that alleviated some of its effects. With Trump passing his tax cuts for the rich and increasing the already huge military budget the deficit has reached $1 trillion, so it's not clear if the government could even afford to do that again, and the effects of climate change have the potential to cause a much more massive downturn.
BabyBoomer - Someone who’s taught to work harder for more* Millennial - Someone who’s taught to work harder for less Gen Z - Someone who’s taught to work harder for nothing.
Your so special, Maybe you should learn what the boomers had to deal with, the Great depression, WW2, acid rain, taught in the 70s we were entering a new ice age . The Silent Spring (google it) and holes in the ozone layer and now climate change that we were told would have many American cities underwater by year 2000. And your generation wonders why we call you snowflakes.
hiccup1dt you’re right I’ve never heard of any of those things 100% all millennials? Never had a history class ever. Certainly we don’t have to deal with the same CLIMATE change as boomers haha no that’d be crazy! We have our own, separate, easier climate change to deal with.
@@hiccup1dt102 what about the great recession, the problem with housing, war being not a rarity, but a common occurrence that our country fights for every day, and the dozens of other problems that are caused by having to support the boomer's retirement? At least the Boomer generation didn't, as a whole, have to support the silent generation or the previous generations.
@@hiccup1dt102 boomers never lived through the great depression in the 20's, or WW2. They were born after WW2, a booming economy and even more babies; which means a lot of them were far more spoiled than they say young people are. And it's not like we haven't got climate change either, or us fearing for our own futures because we have to work 3x harder and longer just to afford a roof over us. And never mind the fact that we're in an almost worldwide lockdown because of the virus, fighting social injustices, and are losing each and every one of our hero's and role models every day.
Baby boomer was the best generation ever a simple job at mcdonalds was enough to get a morgage pay off a house and support a family while getting a pension. They had the best life
Yeah, not so much. A McDonald's job definitely didn't pay off a mortgage even back then. A job at the local steel/cotton/paper mill perhaps. My boomer parents had to go to poor black-only schools because of Jim Crow. My uncle has PTSD to this day because of his time in Vietnam. It wasn't all rainbows and sunshine back then. I'm not saying we don't have it bad; it's just that it's too easy to see someone else's grass as greener when you don't have to cut their lawn.
That was the boomers and gen x, millennials are with you guys on that one. Well, the intelligent ones who believe the overwhelming consensus among experts, over idiots on the internet.
60's The silent spring. 70s Ice age, 80s acid rain, 90s ozone layer disappearing, 2000 global warming. Now climate change. They were all supposed to get us but here we are. Lighten up Snowflake you'll be just fine.

DianaandherGuitar Maybe you just don’t. Appreciate what people before you did. I mean, if it wasn’t for the GI generation you might not be writing that comment.
Wouldn’t a cool middle ground episode be if you had teachers and teens talk about why they feel a certain type of way towards school or toward each other. If you haven’t done it already.
I'm 23, so I guess I'm a millennial, and I work open-closes in retail because the kids in highschool NOW call in every shift or are "sick" .and when they DO come in, they're as useful as they are when they call in. There are a very select few kids who come in and are valuable. And I love and appreciate them more than they probably know even when I do tell them how much I appreciate them.
In 1960 a high school diploma got you a factory job for life, a car, a house, and enough to support a family. Today a high school diploma will get you fries with that McDouble.
AsiniusNaso Not even a job in McDonalds.
AsiniusNaso because the world has become saturated with people with college degrees and none of those are for skilled labor jobs barely anyone goes to trade or vocational schools
so you have convinced yourself that everyone that graduated in 1960 had a sweet factory job deal. LOL
Except for specialized positions which require a specific license or extra training, you can still go get a factory job, it just means you are gonna work a crap schedule and have no social life.
Maybe? If your willing to accept that. I dropped out of high school, learned a trade and have a little house, car, kid and enjoy life. The problem is there this thought that people deserve more then that for some reason.
My dad paid for his whole undergrad by sweeping floors throughout college. A job sweeping floors today can barely pay for an electric bill, let alone the cost of a four-year college education.

After adjusting for inflation the cost of attending a university is more than 1,000% of what it was in 1976, whereas minimum wage is about 75% of what it was in 1976.

my boyfriend went to college at UNO (university of new orleans) for a chemistry degree, took him 5 years due ti an elective. he got scholarships that paid for his entire education and has no student loan dept. he is 7 year younger then i am. he also didnt get a job in his field some 4 years later. he just got lucky. A lot of the problem is people thinking they NEED a college education because the parents expect them. most baby boomers didnt go to college.
I was born right as the generation shifted and just fall into the bracket.
most kids my generation were raised to be the first in the family to go to college. a lot of families worked a lot of trade jobs to support their families. sometimes working more then 1 job. a lot of the work was waiting tables, being bus boys, working in construction, etc.
in the 80s the economy was booming so there were more higher paying jobs, affordable housing. once bush went into office our econ tanked, through mismanagement etc. in housing a lot of McMasions were built just for investment homes, that you would move into, live in and sell high rinse repeat. where back then you typically grew up in 1 home, which you later inherent.
things we dont think about is the 90s did see a spike in teen pregnancy so much it was called an epidemic. so you had a generation of teen parents trying to raise kids.

Baby boomers were set up well for life. Everything came together for them in their generation. Largely in part by the generation before who had been through the great depression and did not want the next generation to go through what they went through .
They think somehow they are the only generation in history to realize that working hard would bring automatic success. If this is true,how come people in sweat shops are not business owners in Missouri?
Fact is, the generation before provided shade, baby boomers took the shade of future generations and have such a big generation population to keep themselves in power.
Woman once said that if millenials worked during the summers like she did they could pay for college themselves. Says it all for how out of touch baby boomers are.
Baby Boomers have been set up for success it's harder for millennials make a living. Millienals won't have social security and will have to work for the rest of there lives.

"I don't think millennials work hard enough"
Idk, does working double or triple shifts count as "not working hard enough"?
I calculated that college student now have to work three times longer for basic college expenses than someone in 1980. That's not even factoring in rent, car, insurance, basic necessities, etc, because those have skyrocketed in price because of inflation. The federal minimum wage has stayed the same for over a decade now.
Although it’s not fair to generalize, there are definitely millennials who don’t work hard. But it’s more of a some-do-some-don’t kind of situation.
There's a difference between working hard and working long hours. Working hard means building towards a long term goal with some short term pain. If you're just working long shifts at McDonald's that's not called hard work, that's called being too lazy to learn skills that can improve your situation.
I'm 32 and I no longer work hard from my personal experience hard work is seldom rewarded, 5 years a go I even changed career from being a chef to driving a truck just because the job is less physically demanding with the added bonus that it pays more and I get weekends off. I used to work very hard but I'm just too old and tired for that nonsense these days, I'll do what I'm contractually obliged to do no more no less.
@@ctb1977 What if they're working those shifts to pay for college? At least the percentage that they have to pay out of pocket. I don't recommend anyone work at McDonald's just for the heck of it.
I currently make more money than my mom has in her entire life. She owns a house. I cant even get a studio apartment. She has no high school diploma, i have an associates. I live in a 2 bedroom apt in a shady part of town with 3 people in it. Rent in my area goes up by hundreds every 6 months. My job refuses to pay me more, and finding a new job means starting at the bottom again as a contractor where i will be paid even less. I have already been homeless twice. I work 50 hours a week. At my age, my mom had me, and she wonders why i dont have kids yet.
"Millenials are lazy and have it easy" my ass.
The problem is that it was much easier to find jobs back then and people back then were able to afford to pay rent and buy their car with min. Wage job.
I live in a 3000 square foot house in a Houston suburb, it cost 200k. People think it’s overpriced because they only look in the most overpriced cities, it’s a big country, look around and it’s not hard to find a good deal.
People would rather live inside of city limits and pay 10x more than living 30-40 miles outside of city limits and pay 10x less
@Winter X Where do you live that has your rent going up hundreds every 6 months? You should check your county zoning laws for rental agreemants for the grandfather policy or negotiate for a contract where your leace is for an extended time and you agree to stay contingent on your rent not fluctuating
50 hours? That’s just average work hours in here Japan
You've no idea how much I wanted to see this. As a millennial who's the child of baby boomers and has had predominantly baby boomers teachers in college, it's so hard to get your point across to a completely different generation.
Arpitha Venkatraman how old are you and how old are your parents if you don’t mind? I’m curious how such an age gap can work.
Les Anderson baby boomers end in the mid-late 60’s, millennials go from 1980-1995 (give or take). So could be for the end of each generation (there’s a gap of around 30 years)
Les Anderson my mother born around 63 and i was 89. But most of my parents generation just doesn't care to actually understand. They just listen and say follow your dreams. Without realizing they didn't set many of us up politically or economically to do that. many just work and wait to retire.
Andrew Ament Then I guess the dream you should follow is changing that political system. But lets be honest, just one generation didnt eff up our political system. Thats as dumb as blaming millennials for everything.
dogdonut3 I am not an english major but i didn't say it was entirely their fault in that comment. If i meant that i would have said it. I am active in politics and work to let others know who they are voting for in the district i reside. Some don't care and keep voting for the same people then continue to complain for years. Many my age wont even listen or go vote to change stuff at the level that actually matters. Its a big disgusting mess and when you try to help people just shrug and say oh well. Best i can do is talk with local people and try to change opinions that way and keep voting how i like. Cheers. 🍻

sonne carver oh idk maybe how people were paid more across the board back in the 60s my grandpa was a sweeper starting at 3.25 an hour which is 19 hr today with inflation at a starting job. Housing loans, banks loans, business loans were low interest and easy to get back then

Experience actual life first. then you can have a seat at the table.

Mr.ThunderChief just because people are younger doesn’t mean they shouldn’t get the right to talk about how they feel about life, how they are treated, and the world they live in😂😂
Mr.ThunderChief as apart of the gen z community. Age has nothing to do on how u view live, by the age of 5 u know what’s morally right and wrong and by the age of 10 can form a valuable opinion about many circumstances but I’m just 14 so what do I know😂
Mr.ThunderChief I am a Gen Z and I can tell you age has nothing to do with experiencing life because I’ve been through things since I was younger. You millennial and boomers think you’re better than us because you don’t lip sync and do dances on tiktok but we are the ones who are using social media to spread awareness especially during blm.

“We’re not entitled. We want what you got. We want the basics of the American Dream.” 👌
I understand what the problem is. We boomers didn't get what we have without making sacrifices. I see Millennials living in $1500/mo apartments, and complaining they can't get ahead. Cut your costs in half, work A LOT, and you can have those things in time.
@@Popeye151 maybe because jobs that require degrees pay 10/h
Jim Heath 86% of this country's population lives in and around urban areas. I don't think that you understand that the rent for a basic (non-luxury) studio apartment in a city neighborhood (that is NOT in NYC, L.A., Chicago, Atlanta, Dallas, San Francisco or D.C) that isn't completely crime ridden, doesn't have vacant/burned out houses, and doesn't have a roach or rat/mouse problem, and is near public transportation (because you can't afford a car, maintenance and insurance) will cost you at least $900/mo. And a basic one bedroom starts at $1200. Basic meaning: heat/ac (maybe), utilities not included, coin-op washers and dryers in the basement. No elevators, no in unit washer/dryer, no gym, no private parking. For the aforementioned large cities, double the cost of everything for the basic apartments and triple it for the luxury apartments. Cities, especially large cities are where the jobs are.
+Jim Heath and that doesn't include food, gas, and other small bills. Basically, you want me to stare at paint drying as a form of entertainment.... Along with college tuition charging couple hundred every month.
Jim Heath, god forbid you don't think we are making sacrifices. We are risking near god everything to live anywhere close to your generation. And a lot of us can't. I'm working at least 64+ hours every week. I don't socialize. I recently got a new used car. My car insurance ever year by myself costs $3500. That is the cheapest. The second cheapest option is car insurance for $5,000. And my car isn't even worth $5000. How much would it cost if I could go back under my mom's insurance plan? $1200 lol to register 2 cars. I could just pay that for her and it would be literally thousands cheaper. God damn sick joke. I could then pay for the cell phone bill, the electricity and whatever else for her if I didn't get the car. Except, I gave my previous car to my mom so she can get to places because she can't afford to buy a car. Not even a car that is over 20 years old. I told you, we will sacrifice near god damn everything. Selfish prick... Hell, I introduced her to netflix to cut her costs down. No more home telephone or cable. Just internet and netflix.

I think it is partly because these are volunteers for the project. I feel like the more divisive people wouldn't want to talk to the other generation to begin with
This was waaaaaayyy more civilized than I thought it would be.
I couldn't agree more
Yeah.
My big complaint with this assortment of people is that all of the millennials are comparatively high ranking and rich, or relatively carefree and doing what they love regardless. An entrepreneur with a successful business, a communications specialist (which I assume is in marketing and thus high paying. Even though her friends are on contract work, she isn't), and a guy in the arts who's doing what he loves and not caring so much about making money.
Where are the millennials that work two-three jobs and still barely survive? Where are the millennials working unpaid overtime with no benefits? Where are the millennials who haven't been allowed to work full time because no jobs hire them for it? Where are the millennials with >$50,000 in student debt their parents forced them into? Where are the millennials who have been applying for jobs at every local business for the past year and gotten nothing?
Virtually every American millennial I know fits into one of those categories, if not multiples of them, and the only working one that doesn't is a government-paid emergency dispatcher. The only people that don't "work hard" that I know are ones that are dealing with severe, untreated mental or physical barriers. Bipolar disorder, panic attacks, autism, gender dysphoria, sciatica, etc. Compared to how much my parents worked, their parents worked, and most baby boomers I've seen worked, millennials work way harder for much less and end up far more burned out as a result. My dad whines all the time about having to drive through traffic to work 8 hours a day, 5 days a week at a job he's held for the past 30 years, and drinks himself into a stupor on Saturdays as a result. He gets full benefits. He makes $130,000 a year. His job is as secure as secure can be, and he works doing something he's liked enough to do for 30 years. Most baby boomers I know are either in the same state he is, are retired and happy, or got laid off at some point in the past decade and haven't held a job since because now they're dealing with the current working environment.
The "millennials" were hardly a valid representation of what millennials across the United States have to deal with, just like I would have preferred they get at least one white, male, conservative baby boomer. Like my dad.
TheNaomeister Exactly this.
LOUDER. PLEASE. LOUDER FOR THE ONES AT THE BACK.

I agree with the millennials on this one. By teaching us as children that we should go to college, get our degree, find love, get married, and have kids. By teaching us this, they’re hindering our adaptability in life my mentally gridlocking us into the idea of if I don’t do this, I’m a failure and a disappointment to everyone and I will fail.

Boomers: "You millennials don't ever work hard. Social media has destroyed your generation!!"
Millennials: "...and somehow you guys think WE are the entitled ones?"
So infuriating.
Ellie Brownlow there was only one lady on this tho that thought that lol
So where did you come up with this fantasy that you could get a job out of high school that would pay for all those things you mentioned? I Graduated from high school in 1976 and it sure the hell wasn't like you described.
Chris Deen i think it was a hyperbole of how easy it was
Baby boomers were set up well for life. Everything came together for them in their generation. Largely in part by the generation before who had been through the great depression and did not want the next generation to go through what they went through .
They think somehow they are the only generation in history to realize that working hard would bring automatic success. If this is true,how come people in sweat shops are not business owners in Missouri?
Fact is, the generation before provided shade, baby boomers took the shade of future generations and have such a big generation population to keep themselves in power.
Woman once said that if millenials worked during the summers like she did they could pay for college themselves. Says it all for how out of touch baby boomers are.
@@christopherdeen5275 My grandpa's company gave their workers apartments to live in. They were also able to choose if it wasn't big enough for their family. He finished only high school when he got that. He still lives there.

@@michellehiemstra3041 can you elaborate?
I think the lazy part comes from a different version of hard work. Back then working two and three jobs to attain your goals was normal, schooling wasn’t pushed as much... hard work was, making money right out of high school was more important... so I think they refer to millennials as lazy because they tend to pro long the work part by going to school and then taking a sub par job and work only one job at that but then also complain about not having enough money. From one end it’s simple, work more hours, get a better job or get two jobs, while the millennial side tends to add that they are doing school and working or they are working a job not in their field so it doesn’t pay great, but also don’t acknowledge that all of it is personal choice... you chose to work multiple jobs or you chose to go to school and take on a simple job to wait for your dream job... that’s a really general way of explaining it... but I’m just pretty sure that’s why millennials are considered lazy.

She's also the person to degrade people for working at mcdonalds or walmart. But turn around and say any job has dignity. But also calls those jobs shitty and tell people "no wonder you work at McDonald's"
I feel like that final exchange perfectly encapsulates the majority of Boomer’s sentiment toward younger generations. “Don’t worry, you’ll survive,” they say as they pay us less, raise cost of living, and take away the few benefits we had remaining.
The government and union leaders push up costs of living
I have to disagree with the woman in black on the first point. As a disabled woman, we don’t get “hand outs”. It takes so much time and energy and effect to fill out the reams of paperwork necessary to get disability. I was BORN disabled. You have no idea how much I would LOVE to even work at Disney Store in the mall. But when I applied, I was interviewed on the spot. My power wheelchair could not fit behind the counter. And they didn’t know what else to do with me since I cannot walk. Even if I had been hired, Disability/SSI takes $1 for every $2 you make. Whatever you make at work gets deducted from disability benefits. Any increase in income counts against you in subsidized housing. The system is built to keep disabled people poor.
I’m currently in college taking classes online toward my Psychology degree. I have a 3.2 GPA and do freelance writing whenever possible. Because my disability is permanent, I will always qualify for benefits on the basis of my medical records. However, I’m working hard to make sure that’s not my only income for the rest of my life.
My disabled dad worked from age 14 until he was told to stop by his doctors. He often worked either 40-50 hours in a factory or had a second job.
Don’t imply disability equals laziness. We want to work but we can’t. And the system stacks as much against us as possible.

With her statement and perspective I see what you mean, but growing up in the same area as her I understand what she means it's not "disabled get handouts" its people who aren't disabled and just don't choose to work is what she's referring too. It's different when someone NEEDS the help vs other who 'mooch' when fully capable of working.
I dont mean to offened anyone this just happens to be the comunity around our area.
irk? I also want to have a job and move out, but it's difficult from disabled people to get a job, and housing is overprized. And taxest are also rising, so some people are afraid of moving out.
I was born disabled too. I’m full deaf. I had hard time to find a job. No one want to hire me. One day I asked employee from Sephora if they are hiring. Employee talked to her manager then manager came to me and said “you can’t work here. You can work at JCPenney store”. I was disappointed because I wanted to work at Sephora and I’m makeup artist. So when I walked away from them then I looked at them. They were making fun of me like gibberish sign language.
I had experience to work with hearing clients and I had no issues with communication. I worked with models for fashion show, actors, and random people. So I decided to make my own business. It’s not easy to start with my business. Where I can get money? Im on SSI but it is not enough for me. So I decided to work as deliver food. I hope that I will get there. I agreed with you. Not all of disability are lazy.

The millennial with the glasses hit the nail on the head: "We're not entitled, we just want what you guys have - the basics of the american dream." EXACTLY. Boomers like to act like millenials are lazy and entitled because we don't get everything we want, yet in reality we're not asking or working for anything more then they were. We want the house, the car, and the family. The difference is your generation was able to get these things around the age we are now, however its starting to seem impossible for us to gain these things through traditional methods because of how messed up the industries are. Jobs aren't paying as much and house costs are through the roof, it would take us atleast 10 more years to afford the things y'all were able to get in your late 20s-early 30s. This is why we don't settle for regular 9 to 5 jobs anymore, not because we don't want to work but because those jobs aren't enough anymore! The people that succeed in our generation are the people that became entrepreneurs and found their OWN way to success, and that's what more of us are going to have to do to get ahead.

@@AidanRampair It's almost like your generation never heard of the great depression. Careful you might get what you wish for.
@John Taylor A single income household could afford a house, car and bills. College could be paid for with jobs boomers worked during the summer. You paid into social security and got it when you reached the age to qualify. A company hired you and gave you health insurance and you worked there for a majority of your life. None of those are possible today. The younger generation works more jobs and more hours in a week to not be able to put a downpayment on a simple house, not be able to afford insurance (of course no benefits from their multiple jobs), and will not see social security. Also the majority are in debt because the generation before them told them they HAD to go to college to get jobs. Your bachelors doesn't get you an entry level position. You masters MAY get you that position. May.

That black woman's spirit was beautiful. What a lovely soul 💕💕💕
BasLifestyle agree she was my favorite
yeah, I really liked her too. Black Americans, most of them were really decent people back in the day.All Americans had a dream and a vision of how it could be, but I think Democrats damned it, screwed it up, and now it's way worse.I'm said Millenials and generation z have had to inherit this, because boomers didn't do this.
She must be native 💛
yes there's just something about her
Y’all don’t forget she owns businesses in Missouri
Yeah. A couple.
who ??
Lmfao
Translation I got mine that all I give a fuck about
"do you think millennials can learn from baby boomers?"
"I own a couple businesses in Missouri"
😂😂
Did anyone else get pissed off a little bit when the lady spoke about social media and getting upset and online relationships as what makes millenials lives harder? I am so far in debt with my student loan and working so much to pay it off and studying at the same time that I dont have the time to be upset because someone on social media said my nose was big 😂
But social media has been linked to higher anxiety and depression and honestly as a millennial I can say that most people in my generation don't interact much anymore because social media is a crutch to real socialisation.
@@steinaf There is literally a research on that. Social Media do cause anxiety and depression.
@@Error-pd5giThanks; I did acknowledge that. I commented how lazy it is to only blame technology.
@@Lookatmeshine But did the social media create anxiety and depression or was it always there and those who have that are more drawn to socially interact NOT face to face?
Maybe it's just that those with anxiety, depression, introversion-- not that they can't be social just to not be social all that much--, and socially inept people have a higher chance to not interact in the outside world as much making it seem that it's caused a dilemma when it's always been there. And now that there's a place they all hang out around makes the numbers seem bigger?
Or is it both, that it's trapping people who do have anxiety and/or depression and keeping them at that state? Could there be any benefits they can get in social media to improve if they hang out with the right people on social media? There's a lot of things one could look into.
Social media is horrible. No doubt about it.
did I mention that I’m from Missouri and own a couple of businesses?
I don't think I caught that... I live in Missouri too, and I also own a couple businesses.
No way I’m from Missouri too and own a couple of businesses
Companies? Yea I got a couple over in Missouri.
No you didn’t could you mention that again please
Guys, I think they have businesses in Missouri. ...Nah.
"We don't necessarily feel like you guys set us up for success."
THIS resonated so much with me. I couldn't agree more. My father is a narcissistic babyboomer who didn't even attend college and is the first to judge if a person doesn't attend college or struggle through college. He doesn't seem to understand in depth how mental health is as important as physical health. He comes from a generation that's more religious, sexist, toxic etc. How the hell do these parents think they're setting us up for success? Of course, not every single babyboomer is like that, but you get the idea.
A large majority of people in my family did not qualify for college despite the fact that they're successful but they criticize people who either don't go or don't qualify but wanted to like they actually went to college themselves, it's crazy
Family courts..nuff said
in my opinion, it's gen x that are more sexiest nowadays
Preach!
Same and my Narc mom wants to move in with me and I have my own family plus thousands of dollars a month in bills ! Go figure
I am a Generation X ,and I feel the same with the lad who said,”I feel like you all didn’t set us up for success” I have uttered those same sentiments.
And, we will never be in charge because Boomers working until they’re 80, then hand it to Milennials. We’ve got ideas!
I really liked what the one girl said about lack of incentive to work harder. I'm gonna just use wage as an example. I went to college and now have almost 50k in debt, housing prices in my area are expensive, jobs say the want 20 years of experience but will pay 15/hour. Leadership and executive roles, many of which are held by baby boomers have created an economy where even when you do work hard, get educated, and try to be responsible you're incredibly likely to fail.
I sometimes feel so overwhelmed by just how bleak the future can be. I have a decent job, but am terrified that if I loose it I have to find another that pays just as well to even survive. Baby boomers grew up in a time when job hopping was not only easy, but when you could loose a job and not really have to worry for a good few months. I make 40k/year, am single, with no children, and still live paycheck to paycheck. Not because I partied all of my teen year or because I am irresponsible with money, but because of student loans, paying for health insurance that my employer doesn't provide, and paying for medical bills that I didn't ask for. this story isn't uncommon for a lot of use millennials.
dwade this is not a great line of thinking. Not everyone can have a top income job. Whether it’s geographic restriction, health restriction, or what ever else can come up. Your comment smells of privilege. Saying that people just aren’t working hard enough or making the right career choice implies they had a huge amount of choices. My moms health tanked and I had to move back home to help support her, but you’re right, I should just make a better career choice and throw her to the curb. I’m sure it’s my fault the local economy is horrible too.
Student loans in the US are crippling. I didn’t realize how bad it was till I worked with a bunch of Americans while living abroad. No one should have to work half their lives paying for their education. Education is a right not a privilege.

@Htc M8
You are a fucking idiot
"I dont want to survive, I wanna thrive." I believe this statement pretty much sums up Millenials and every generation after. Also, "I don't want to exist, I want to live."
Bloomers want to thrive, too. I think what we’re trying to say is you got to work to get there. Just don’t expect it to fall into your lap.
These boomers are surprisingly understanding. As a millennial myself, that has not been my experience.
Wish they wouldve went further and talked about how baby boomers could work an entry level job for a summer to pay for their college tuition. How drastically different healthcare costs were. I saw a hospital bill for a birth that was like 100 bucks. And now we are required to pay for our health care. People cant even afford medication. They could work an entry level job and afford a home. People these days are so indebted because of their college loans. You cant just have one parent work anymore and live comfortably. There isnt a state where a person can work fulltime and afford rent. Inflation has gone up so very much and some baby boomers dont realize how privileged they were in that regard.
Baby boomers think that every problem EVER was started by social media 😑
Decreasing race relations, increased social anxiety and depression... You could link bascially every modern social problem to social media.
Thug Life Bear Well most depression and anxiety is caused by the insane amount of pressure that schools and parents put on us. Social media has caused some problems, but it’s not as bad as boomers like to think.
Thug Life Bear those were problems wayyy before the 2000s. Just because y’all can see it more clearly doesn’t mean it didn’t exist
Promise Mitchell Exactly. Boomers annoying as hell.
@@reesejames7240 I know this is a pretty old generation, but speaking of entitlement: the rise in depression has absolutely no way anything to do with social media, school or parents. Depression in the west is far higher than say depression in India, yet in India people have it far worse. All the things that we can complain about in our society today, we can only complain about because we don't have to worry about survival. Food and shelter is a guarantee for many. The rise in depression has a lot to do with the difference in how we raise our children. When young minds lack obstacles and a sense of competition they will re-direct that stress onto trivial things.
Maybe its just me being too cynical but these episodes and conversations have the opportunity to be amazing but they just never fulfilled their potential.
> They never discuss the core principles and philosophies behind the question - for example in the 'my children will grow up in a better world than I did' nobody asked or even tried to define what is 'better,' what the aim of societies and the world should be, what this utopia world vision is were working towards? Instead I just heard cliches like 'you've not set us up for success' ... 'the expectations are changing' ...
> There's very little quantitive and objective substance to the conversation. They all use vague emotive language, referencing personal experiences and whilst this is great, if you want to have a really interesting and thought provoking conversation you need some 'meat' so to speak. For example, in Steven Pinkers TED talk he discusses societal progression over the years by actually analysing facts and figures.
Sorry to be so critical, just feel these videos have so much potential for changing perceptions yet you just end up with a bunch of people saying the same lines we've all heard before :(
I don't think that was ever the objective of these conversations. I think they didn't want conversation to get too analytical and number heavy. They just wanted to get to the common ground through the basics. Get just deep enough to recognize that we have some type of unity and civility
They are taking average Americans with some success. Even though it is not engaging like Pinker, we know what we think, feel and concern about more than before the video. Pinker is an expert and thinker. The people in this video are typical Americans within a niche. You have a point though; we can always strive to know more.
Neptune - I think you hit on the most important point - conversations about politics often get really heated and consequently the discussions turn from really understanding each others view points and logic to just a shouting match. This is why its so important that the people in the videos really get to discuss the root philosophy and logic behind the opponents views and understand how and why they differ! Instead what we see in this video is the two sides saying they're two points of views (all be it in a calm manner which is some process at least) but it isn't really of any value for any genuine understanding and appreciation of others, and therefore critique and questioning of ones own views.
Real discussion, and depth of questioning/ conversation doesn't have to take any more time than what we see in this video. The only difference is instead of asking and stating surface level points about WHAT you believe, you talk about the moral and philosophical principles behind those beliefs. I don't know if you've ever listened to a podcast called the 'Moral Maze' but in it they are able to get a person onto the show and really question and evaluate their position in less than 5 minutes, so I think its not true to say it would take too long.
JMakes with that in mind what about the baby boomers that were mentally ill, and as a result treated poorly and hospitalized for easily treated illnesses today. Domestic abuse victims had little resources, addicts/alcoholics had very little options in terms of treatment as well, where as today we have fully established and accessible programs (12 step, or inpatient) and less stigma surrounding these circumstances.Every generation has a struggle with poverty. Although I agree with most of what you’re saying, I think it’s very naive to only consider the economic stand point. It just doesn’t feel right to me to complain about our situation, and claim we have it worse knowing we can’t group all baby boomers or millennials. It’s too broad of a statement.
All the millennials had to say was “ok boomers” and they would have had the high ground
How that's not even an argument.

I will say I do think the STRATEGY for success has definitely changed compared to the boomer generation. It was more of a “Work Hard”. Straight forward direction. Now for millennials, it leans more toward “Work Smart”. Find the best idea and/or meet the right people before the next one does.
Spot ON! I'm really excited to see what Generation Z does with this shift.
I agree, a lot of that shifting came in the 1980s, when corporate America moved from the managerialism form of corporate governance, where a corporation was viewed as a social institution; but after the 1980s, corporate america moved towards shareholder value as the ideal mode of corporate governance, where the corporation is now viewed as a nexus of individual business contracts.
Weird that nobody is concerned about the environmental problems. Lack of rain, flashfloods, loss of ecosystems, incl. animals and plants. In Germany we have 70% less insects then 20 years ago and it's affecting everything else. We're supposed to feed birds throughout the summer now, because the few food bird parents find is barely enough for their kids, but not for them. Also lots more natural disasters. Does seem way more pressing to me than national debt, as it's not reversible once it's too late. Once a species goes extinct it can't be brought back and it has an effect on all other species that depend on it - including humans.
tinyruin I totally agree! In California, where I’m from, the fire season has been getting longer every year and we are barely above drought levels. Also in Morocco, where I am staying now, we have had considerably more rain these past few months than we ever have had in past years. I feel that weather patterns all over the world are getting more extreme every year
tinyruin exactly my thoughts!
we'll all be dead before that stuff really matters
actually the musician pointed that out I think when she said that sorry we're gonna leave problems for you guys she meant that sorry for leaving you guys with the environmental problems that we caused
tinyruin I was thinking that too.
Try dealing with a narcissistic babyboomer boss everyday
Have y'all worked with entitled millennials that throw a temper tantrum on the floor ?
It's awkward.
A hospital at that. Refusing to pick up jobs and sit on their butts in the break room. The patients suffer due to them.
From my experience it's always been the millennial that's the problem.
I can't speak for them, but from what I've been told is that some are tired of being run down time and time again, if they work harder than their co. Everyday while their co. Doesn't do much and they slack off a little, they verbal unapproval while their lazy coworkers get by without any consequences. Acknowledge a good worker when you have one, and be fair and just
@@LaCajunWash That can be said about the Xers that are at my previous jobs and the Hospital one.
It's the same attitude the Millennials had in school. I went to school with them. It's like some of us grew up but the majority didn't. They still want their way. They'll ruin people's days by writing them up for little to no reason. The boss/bosses will call you in for something you didn't even do and the person that wrote you up is there and can cry on command to make themself out to be a victim. This isn't just one of those millennials, it's the majority of them. It's disappointing that they're the same way they were back in school.
Яonnie Levine dude, You look 20-30 so your a millennials. And some millennials are weird like that doesn’t mean all.
@@TheLegendarySuperSaiyanBroly Can't relate. All I hear is baby-boomers whining about us, while sitting on their arses all day. I even had baby boomer teachers who did absolutely nothing to actually teach us and hated us for no reason. Guess it's just the entitlement that is rooted within their generation.
From my experience, it's always been the baby=boomer that's the problem.
negative stereotypes have caused people to have poor viewpoints on both generations, yet watching this as a gen z i love and understand both.
My parents didn't set me up for success and neither did theirs. We were all just told go out and work hard.
Me again Well did you work hard? 90% of your potential for success is on you.
Mine too
My dad barely talked about it with me tbh. He didn’t pay for my college or buy me an apartment. I actually stayed with him until I got my life together.
Pretty much. Shit advice. I’m fortunate to have been very lucky and relatively privileged. If it weren’t for those 2 things, hard work wouldn’t have gotten me nearly as far.
and what is it that we’re “working hard” for
All I can say is. The majority of the most entitled people I've encountered in my place of work, were baby boomers.
Mini toast they think there $20 dollars is worth more then millennial 20$. They are so entitled they are old versions of whiny children.
Boomers will sit outside a store 30 mins before it’s open and get mad at us for not opening the store when THEY get there. Many are definitely entitled. Lol Happened all the time when I worked retail.
Same unfortunately. The boomers I worked with constantly messed with my work, cause they couldn't understand my working process. And actually made it slower...when I did it my way I got yelled at. Wtf!? You're not my boss and if the boss is fine with how I do my tasks, who are you to scream at me...Well I didn't do smalltalk outside of the nessecary with one anymore and she went to our boss and demanded I should be fired. Luckily I did my work well so all he said was: I wouldn't talk with you as well if you screamed at me. Eat this boomer XD
Over the years I met 3 beings like that at work. All were boomers.

Millennial: The planet is on fire.
Boomer: The national debt really concerns me.
why cant both be true?
Kurt Jappy i would say that the national debt was blown out of proportion because of decisions done by the boomer generation
No, but that's not vegan.
It may not be as big of a problem but it is a legitimate one. When the Great Recession happened the debt was a lot smaller so the Obama administration was able to fund the stimulus package that alleviated some of its effects. With Trump passing his tax cuts for the rich and increasing the already huge military budget the deficit has reached $1 trillion, so it's not clear if the government could even afford to do that again, and the effects of climate change have the potential to cause a much more massive downturn.
