I love how mad gen xers get when it comes to admitting they were very privileged. They are proud of it, but also insanely mad about it.

Yeah, that’s very fair. I have a BiL and SiL who are on the tail end of gen x that definitely seem more like older millennials then they do gen x. They are my favorite family members to hang out with at this point.

Old mystery/thriller book by John D. MacDonald. ‘The Brass Cupcake.’ In the story, the hero explains that in prison slang, a ‘cupcake’ is a privilege that can be revoked at anytime by any guard. Everything under our system is a cupcake.

Millennials are gonna be in hospice and people are still gonna treat that generation like they are little kids and blame them for another industry under-performing capitalists’ expectations.

It’s really endearing you think they’d let us have hospice care.

That’s already becoming the cash cow of a fucked industry, you’re going to have to prove three times active income to be admitted to hospice care.

Millenials retirement will look like the next generation setting a loaded gun on the table next to us and then looking at us expectantly.

Yeah, my retirement plan is ending up on one of those “creepy, unsolved disappearances” compilation videos on youtube.

We’ll be lucky if we end up like those guys that have like a large tent, a couch and a TV under a highway bridge.
