Will The Real “Me” Generation Please Stand Up?

[YoungRepublican]

Today is my first day as an alumnus of higher education. I did it! One-hundred thousand dollar piece of paper that tells the world I can now join the job market. Only problem, everyone else has one and they are looking for the same job. Am I at twenty two years old, a self entitled narcissist? You bet your ass I am, because I need to be.
Competition within the job market today can be compared to human civilization in its earliest form. If you are not the hunter in the modern, global economy than you have become the hunted, you are just another twenty something year old that can be replaced by days end. Why? Because if I do not find a job that pays a substantial salary I will probably still be answering emails while I wait for Saint Pete. What the critical issue the “Baby-Boom” generation fails to see is that millennia’s wont have the opportunity for a pension, social security, or any middle to upper-class safety net. One would think that with all of the free time on their hands, these baby boomers would be able to reflect on the problems they have left us. It’s difficult to speak on the feelings of a generation when you do not understand them.
I am a staunch supporter of statistics, I believe that Empirical evidence will always outweigh a Marxian view when the issue being discussed is rooted in numbers. Social understanding is only fully comprehended when a person experiences what they are talking about. This where the argument against me and my future collogue hits an impassable obstacle.
My Grandmother is by far one of the sweetest ladies I have ever met. Much like all Grandmother’s mine would give me anything that I ask for. Born in 1945, she is your quintessential Baby-Boomer. My Pop-Pop who till today remains the single greatest influential factor in my life was, until his passing in 2005 at fifty-eight is also categorized in the Baby Boom. My Pop-Pop fought in Vietnam and worked until the day he died. My Gram was a stay at home mom to her three daughters. They lived in an upper-middle class neighborhood in a house that my gram lives still lives in today. I love my Gram to death, but in the year 2013 you can not sit at home with just savings to your name. Baby boomers don’t have to worry though; it isn’t just savings that keep them afloat for the next twenty years of their lives. They have us! The lazy, self entitled, social media obsessed, narcissists; you know, the people who will be paying your bills.
Mr. Stein and his cohorts have placed the shoe on the wrong foot. You know how I define a person that is lazy and self entitled? A man or a woman who decides that they don’t need to work after sixty five, because they worked all of their life and hey, some of the younger folks in my generation have already retired so why cant I? Let me tell you why. Because, over the course of the last fifty years you have take this country on a roller coaster ride and, now that it’s all over you don’t want to pay. Just sit back for the next twenty years and we will fund your medical care, economic well being, your day to day expenses, and everything else you can squeeze from us.
I would like you to answer just a few questions to yourself if you are over the age of 55. Did you have college loans upward of 100,000 dollars? Are you buying a home in a real estate market that has the stability of a heroine dealer? Have you ever once wondered how difficult it is to be entering a job that may never end? For those that are the problem, you don’t, and even those who legitimately sympathize, lack the ability to empathize. Hell, who are we to tell you how to spend our money? Go nuts kids, you all earned it. You worked so long, paid off so much debt and look at how you gave us the economy, our gratitude is spilling out of us.
I am in no way saying my generation is smarter than anyone else’s. We lack common knowledge, you can make a reference that predates 1995 without a funny look, we cant socialize if it were to save our lives. That isn’t your problem though, its mine and the rest of us more traditional millennials to normalize those stuck to their computers and phones. That isn’t the point of this though, the point is to make people see the shit I have to deal with on a daily basis. I’m sure Baby-Boomers have dumb people, people that would fall into the same Bieber crazed fools of my generation. Those who see the issue have a duty to speak out against it and I can say with full certainty that we will not succeed if we are left to bear the brunt of twenty year retirements.
Is it an easy solution? No, but it is a slanderous attack on the only people who can help you. We have this desire to advance and make as much money as possible because in order to pay for you, our parents, our future kids, our college loans, our loose cannon banks (which are all run by baby boomers) and this list can continue until you get so depressed from reading it you may feel some sympathy. We do not want sympathy from anyone though, not even a little, because you will get none from us. Due to the fact that soon enough when Medicare has run dry and pensions are a thing of the past, we will look at you and say what you have been yelling at us, “get a job”. Your parents lived for five years, ten if they were lucky after they retired and I have no issue with supporting the elderly for a substantial period, but the days of retiring and traveling the world with the help of social security are over. Strap on your boots, pack a lunch and stop being self entitled narcissists that bite the hand that feeds them.

Congratulations! You've met Harsh Reality. Someday you will understand that all human unhappiness is created by wanting. Remember:

"None of this matters a bit. Yet, of course, it matters at the moment. So we try to be mindful of the moment, but it is fleeting."

It's showtime, sport.
Saddle up and walk light.

Don't worry about pity.
People who don't know what they are talking about don't get much pity.

If you're as good with numbers as you claim, then you can't be a member of either major party (because there are no numbers supporting either party's policy decisions for about 35 years) or take either party as anything except a threat to the future of the nation. In which case you might amount to something.

The problem is that since WWII corporations have bought more and more of government, until CITIZENS UNITED sealed the deal giving corporations the rights of natural born citizens. Obviously that is malfeasance in office on the highest level. Corporations don't get killed in action, corporations don't have souls, and corporations don't go to jail for crimes.

Having noted all that, good luck. You're going to need it if you continue to blame disorganized rabble for the crimes of politicians fronting for highly organized paper entities exercising "personhood" rights awarded by the nutball court.

(because there are no numbers supporting either party's policy decisions for about 35 years)

dear, Republicans introduced capitalism in China 30 years ago and it cut world poverty in half!! Don't mean to rock your world. Sorry

Obviously that is malfeasance in office on the highest level. Corporations don't get killed in action, corporations don't have souls, and corporations don't go to jail for crimes.

1) corporations don't get involved much in politics because it is likely to turn off half of their customers who vote for the other party

2) since corporations live and die by serving us their voice would be used toward that end so we encourage it as a general matter

3) any group club union association corporation ought to be free to express itself politicially in a free society, especially when the individuals in the group are free to leave the group.

4) if you still want some insurance support Republicans since they believe in capitalism (separation of government and business) rather the Democrats who support crony-socialism ( union of government and business as in Obamacare).

Don't mean to rock your world. Sorry

Even you don't believe that, Edmund. Unless you think living in barracks with suicide nets is "middle class".

1) corporations don't get involved much in politics because it is likely to turn off half of their customers who vote for the other party

Another howler, Ed. Seriously, if you don't get back on the meds, consider doing standup. Ever hear of CITIZENS UNITED, Ed? They give anonymously. The only "half" corporations worry about is white trash "halfwits"; corporations are afraid some of you will wake up some day.

2) since corporations live and die by serving us their voice would be used toward that end so we encourage it as a general matter

Ever seen cattle walking up a chute into a butcher house, Ed? Next time you get a chance, check out the audience at a Glen Beck show.

3) any group club union association corporation ought to be free to express itself politicially in a free society, especially when the individuals in the group are free to leave the group.

No. It shouldn't. People should. Entities have no soul. Some of you religious nuts should probably think about that a little bit.

4) if you still want some insurance support Republicans since they believe in capitalism (separation of government and business) rather the Democrats who support crony-socialism ( union of government and business as in Obamacare).

No one reading Ed's statement above is stupid enough to believe that with the possible exception of Ed himself. Lindsay Graham would still be hustling for traveling money outside college law schools and fancy nightclubs if it wasn't for the defense industry. Hank Paulsen literally gave Wall Street the keys to the United State Treasury. In what clown show is that separation?

Don't mean to rock your world. Sorry

Never apologize for rocking my world, Ed.
Some of your posts are pure iron pyrite.

 

[EdwardBaiamonte]

Even you don't believe that, Edmund. Unless you think living in barracks with suicide nets is "middle class".

too stupid!! IMF believes it, World bank believes it, and auto companies believe it when they now sell more cars there than in USA!! Barracks are far better the en masse starvation, suicide rate at Foxconn is below USA rate and far below 10 million a year who sometimes starved to death before Republicans introduced capitalism. Want to bet on any of the above, say, $10,000???? Bet, or run away with your liberal tail between your legs once again.

Ever hear of CITIZENS UNITED, Ed? They give anonymously.

and????????? liberals hate corporations and yet Obama is president after all the Citizens United anonymous giving?????. What does that tell you about the liberal hysteria?????? Do you know that Demcorats get more donations than Republicans even after Citizens United?????

 

[EdwardBaiamonte]

Hank Paulsen literally gave Wall Street the keys to the United State Treasury. In what clown show is that separation?[/COLOR]

if he wanted them to have the keys how did Bear Lehman Merryl, Wa Mu and 5000 others go bankrupt???????? It pays to think before you blindly follow the liberal herd. Sorry!

Keys??? those that survived paid the money back while liberals spend trillions bailing out failed individuals who never pay back one cent!!

See why we are positve a liberal will be slow. Did you learn what supply side economics is yet??

Are you sure there are enough question marks, Ed? Having a few doubts myself, but hey, it's your post.

This is a real head scratcher. All I can come up with is that not everyone is a batshit crazy nutball.

A young person may well be reading your posts, Ed, considering which gaggle of anti-American corporatists to join, if any. Many of us wouldn't give a nickel to either party, but you seem to believe more Americans give to the Democrats - or maybe you believe their corporate sponsors give more?

Either way, why is that, Ed? Why do corporations give money to PACs anonymously? Is that the work of honest citizens? Or is that the work of corrupt bloodless entities seeking to stampede rabble on either side of the partisan divide selling out America today?

What the critical issue the “Baby-Boom” generation fails to see is that millennia’s wont have the opportunity for a pension, social security, or any middle to upper-class safety net.

Poppycock.

We totally see the problem.

After all, kid, its our generation who has been suffering thee slow erosion of incomes and benefits.

And we certain can see that these 40 year TREND isn't getting any better, too.

Today is my first day as an alumnus of higher education. I did it! One-hundred thousand dollar piece of paper that tells the world I can now join the job market. Only problem, everyone else has one and they are looking for the same job. Am I at twenty two years old, a self entitled narcissist? You bet your ass I am, because I need to be.
Competition within the job market today can be compared to human civilization in its earliest form. If you are not the hunter in the modern, global economy than you have become the hunted, you are just another twenty something year old that can be replaced by days end. Why? Because if I do not find a job that pays a substantial salary I will probably still be answering emails while I wait for Saint Pete. What the critical issue the “Baby-Boom” generation fails to see is that millennia’s wont have the opportunity for a pension, social security, or any middle to upper-class safety net. One would think that with all of the free time on their hands, these baby boomers would be able to reflect on the problems they have left us. It’s difficult to speak on the feelings of a generation when you do not understand them.
I am a staunch supporter of statistics, I believe that Empirical evidence will always outweigh a Marxian view when the issue being discussed is rooted in numbers. Social understanding is only fully comprehended when a person experiences what they are talking about. This where the argument against me and my future collogue hits an impassable obstacle.
My Grandmother is by far one of the sweetest ladies I have ever met. Much like all Grandmother’s mine would give me anything that I ask for. Born in 1945, she is your quintessential Baby-Boomer. My Pop-Pop who till today remains the single greatest influential factor in my life was, until his passing in 2005 at fifty-eight is also categorized in the Baby Boom. My Pop-Pop fought in Vietnam and worked until the day he died. My Gram was a stay at home mom to her three daughters. They lived in an upper-middle class neighborhood in a house that my gram lives still lives in today. I love my Gram to death, but in the year 2013 you can not sit at home with just savings to your name. Baby boomers don’t have to worry though; it isn’t just savings that keep them afloat for the next twenty years of their lives. They have us! The lazy, self entitled, social media obsessed, narcissists; you know, the people who will be paying your bills.
Mr. Stein and his cohorts have placed the shoe on the wrong foot. You know how I define a person that is lazy and self entitled? A man or a woman who decides that they don’t need to work after sixty five, because they worked all of their life and hey, some of the younger folks in my generation have already retired so why cant I? Let me tell you why. Because, over the course of the last fifty years you have take this country on a roller coaster ride and, now that it’s all over you don’t want to pay. Just sit back for the next twenty years and we will fund your medical care, economic well being, your day to day expenses, and everything else you can squeeze from us.
I would like you to answer just a few questions to yourself if you are over the age of 55. Did you have college loans upward of 100,000 dollars? Are you buying a home in a real estate market that has the stability of a heroine dealer? Have you ever once wondered how difficult it is to be entering a job that may never end? For those that are the problem, you don’t, and even those who legitimately sympathize, lack the ability to empathize. Hell, who are we to tell you how to spend our money? Go nuts kids, you all earned it. You worked so long, paid off so much debt and look at how you gave us the economy, our gratitude is spilling out of us.
I am in no way saying my generation is smarter than anyone else’s. We lack common knowledge, you can make a reference that predates 1995 without a funny look, we cant socialize if it were to save our lives. That isn’t your problem though, its mine and the rest of us more traditional millennials to normalize those stuck to their computers and phones. That isn’t the point of this though, the point is to make people see the shit I have to deal with on a daily basis. I’m sure Baby-Boomers have dumb people, people that would fall into the same Bieber crazed fools of my generation. Those who see the issue have a duty to speak out against it and I can say with full certainty that we will not succeed if we are left to bear the brunt of twenty year retirements.
Is it an easy solution? No, but it is a slanderous attack on the only people who can help you. We have this desire to advance and make as much money as possible because in order to pay for you, our parents, our future kids, our college loans, our loose cannon banks (which are all run by baby boomers) and this list can continue until you get so depressed from reading it you may feel some sympathy. We do not want sympathy from anyone though, not even a little, because you will get none from us. Due to the fact that soon enough when Medicare has run dry and pensions are a thing of the past, we will look at you and say what you have been yelling at us, “get a job”. Your parents lived for five years, ten if they were lucky after they retired and I have no issue with supporting the elderly for a substantial period, but the days of retiring and traveling the world with the help of social security are over. Strap on your boots, pack a lunch and stop being self entitled narcissists that bite the hand that feeds them.

Judging from other posts you've made, I'd have to say you're the President of the "Me Generation Club." Or you're President of the "ME! Club" at the very least. I suggest you borrow a slogan from the '80s to put on your letterhead (if you can afford letterhead after everybody else has sucked you dry:

"He Who Has The Most Toys Wins"

What the critical issue the “Baby-Boom” generation fails to see is that millennia’s wont have the opportunity for a pension, social security, or any middle to upper-class safety net.

Poppycock.

We totally see the problem.

After all, kid, its our generation who has been suffering thee slow erosion of incomes and benefits.

And we certain can see that these 40 year TREND isn't getting any better, too.

Actually the only danger I see to Social Security is a political one. If enough people are conned into believing that Social Security will go belly up (which it can't under the existing laws), they may be able to push a political "solution" that privatizes Social Security for younger workers. This is the bonanza Wall Street is lobbying for, make all the retirees bear the risk of bad investment results while Wall Street collects management fees whether the portfolios go up or down. Social Security can only fail for future generations if they buy into the rubbish and make it so.

In a prior post I stated that I actually wish you well in your future endeavors. In that spirit I congratulate you on completing a milestone in your education and offer a bit of advice for you to chew on.

You correctly recognize that no one has more interest in your success than you do and therefore the the responsibility to further your professional career rests mainly with you. The purpose of your education has been to provide you with as many of the life skills as you could absorb. If your education has been deficient in any area (which you can bet it is in many respects), it is now your responsibility to remedy those defects. The skill set most helpful to you will depend to some degree on what kind of career you anticipate, but the differences are mostly differences in the mix.

You need to be able to communicate verbally and in writing with skill and exactness. You need to develop reasoning skills and the application of logic. You need to develop empathy to understand the motives and reactions to a situation of other participants. And you need to develop the characteristics of a leader. All of this you should have learned in your formal education but probably did not absorb sufficiently. So now you get to hone these skills while making a living.

I hope you make lots of mistakes early, because that is how you learn. Reluctance to accept risk early can cripple any career. Bad shit is going to happen anyway, so learn how to deal with it. Observe much and say little. If you are to succeed, you will need help and team building begins with observation. If you don't see the web of inter-personal relationships, you will never figure out how any organization works.

Finally, virtually every major success has a mentor behind it. Always keep an open mind; you never know who might be able to give you the missing piece you need to complete your tool kit!

You need to be able to communicate verbally and in writing with skill and exactness.

can you say exactly why you are a liberal?????? Please answer with skill and exactness. Queerly, you are so use to being a deceptive and manipulative propagandist that you cant, and I'm sure you feel you have good excuses for rejecting your own advice too.

See why we say liberals are slow??

Today is my first day as an alumnus of higher education. I did it! One-hundred thousand dollar piece of paper that tells the world I can now join the job market. Only problem, everyone else has one and they are looking for the same job. Am I at twenty two years old, a self entitled narcissist? You bet your ass I am, because I need to be.
Competition within the job market today can be compared to human civilization in its earliest form. If you are not the hunter in the modern, global economy than you have become the hunted, you are just another twenty something year old that can be replaced by days end. Why? Because if I do not find a job that pays a substantial salary I will probably still be answering emails while I wait for Saint Pete. What the critical issue the “Baby-Boom” generation fails to see is that millennia’s wont have the opportunity for a pension, social security, or any middle to upper-class safety net. One would think that with all of the free time on their hands, these baby boomers would be able to reflect on the problems they have left us. It’s difficult to speak on the feelings of a generation when you do not understand them.
I am a staunch supporter of statistics, I believe that Empirical evidence will always outweigh a Marxian view when the issue being discussed is rooted in numbers. Social understanding is only fully comprehended when a person experiences what they are talking about. This where the argument against me and my future collogue hits an impassable obstacle.
My Grandmother is by far one of the sweetest ladies I have ever met. Much like all Grandmother’s mine would give me anything that I ask for. Born in 1945, she is your quintessential Baby-Boomer. My Pop-Pop who till today remains the single greatest influential factor in my life was, until his passing in 2005 at fifty-eight is also categorized in the Baby Boom. My Pop-Pop fought in Vietnam and worked until the day he died. My Gram was a stay at home mom to her three daughters. They lived in an upper-middle class neighborhood in a house that my gram lives still lives in today. I love my Gram to death, but in the year 2013 you can not sit at home with just savings to your name. Baby boomers don’t have to worry though; it isn’t just savings that keep them afloat for the next twenty years of their lives. They have us! The lazy, self entitled, social media obsessed, narcissists; you know, the people who will be paying your bills.
Mr. Stein and his cohorts have placed the shoe on the wrong foot. You know how I define a person that is lazy and self entitled? A man or a woman who decides that they don’t need to work after sixty five, because they worked all of their life and hey, some of the younger folks in my generation have already retired so why cant I? Let me tell you why. Because, over the course of the last fifty years you have take this country on a roller coaster ride and, now that it’s all over you don’t want to pay. Just sit back for the next twenty years and we will fund your medical care, economic well being, your day to day expenses, and everything else you can squeeze from us.

For those that are the problem, you don’t, and even those who legitimately sympathize, lack the ability to empathize. Hell, who are we to tell you how to spend our money? Go nuts kids, you all earned it. You worked so long, paid off so much debt and look at how you gave us the economy, our gratitude is spilling out of us.
I am in no way saying my generation is smarter than anyone else’s. We lack common knowledge, you can make a reference that predates 1995 without a funny look, we cant socialize if it were to save our lives.

That I am! and I will abide by that slogan..Whoever said you cant buy happiness must've never been fishing for swords of the coast of Mexico by the time they're 55 lol

and the point is??????????????????

That colleges apparently don't teach people how to compose paragraphs and use spacebars.

Kid no one forced you to get a degree that you would not be able to use. And one of the defining aspects of generation whine.. I mean me...is they always expect to make big coin right out of the gate.
