So you are telling me Boomers weren't born into a properous time and didn't proceed to outsource literally everything, create a massive debt bubble and force their children to pay for their retirement while at the same time increasing immigration so that they could have cheaper labor and have to pay less for everything?

They did none of those things you say?

Actually a lot of millenials work in warehouses (or even factories), mostly from Amazon as they are beating out places like Walmart for retail hiring right now. The ones who play games for a living are a very small minority, and probably 0.00001% become a Pewdiepie.

He's definitely not, working class millenials work in many warehouses. Typically Amazon, though. A lot of them have degrees so they usually get promoted to a manager after a year or two while their boomer coworkers are stuck doing manual labor since they never bothered to get a degree.

Technically yes, they do. Amazon is a soyboy company after all (see all the people who work at HR there). Yet despite that, they are successful. People said those degrees were useless yet I see them getting promoted just for having those gender studies bullshit degrees simply because it's a degree of some kind. That's all that matters to getting promoted at a place like Amazon.

Some of them are in debt, but the Amazon salaries are decent enough that it's not really an issue (as long as you aren't a wagie there). But the smart thing to do is take free handouts like GI Bills and go to college for free, then work in a place like Amazon which prioritizes hiring veterans.

Manual labor can wreck your joints/tendons/body over time. "Hard work" in most cases is also unlikely to make you rich quickly, if at all. My guiding principle in life has always been to take it easy, and to find ways to get paid while doing as little as possible.

Seems like older generations all had a local watering hold bar or restaurant, but I'm basing this off TV shows so I don't know if that's accurate.
Maybe that was just propaganda that caused the current generation to constantly eat out for social reasons.
I don't understand it, it's not like you're chatting up the table next to you, so why not eat at home with your friends. You get better food and don't have to awkwardly time finishing your drink so you can get a refill at a few set points throughout the evening... I digress.
