To the Millenials from a Gen Xer

[DonCoquixote]

4. not bashing

" I am not bashing any generation, however, I do subscribe from my psychological experience professionally and personally to the very solid idea that there are generational differences and generalizations which can be made about thinking, feeling, and being in the culture as it is."

" The 40 something's I know are all working, have careers, families, etc. "

"I didn't know a single friend of mine in my 20's who moved by home to live with their parents after graduation. "

First off, you nor Rall speak for Gen X as a whole. Do I know people that had to move home, oh hell yes. Are there 40 somethings that have no job, and have an even rougher time getting hired than the younger ones, oh hell yes. Go to any unemployment office or bankruptcy court, and you will find enough event to bury your anecdotes like an avalanche.

And please, spare your "I am not bashing, but I do believe a lot of the negative stuff based on my anecdotal evidence." All of us, Boomers, Xes, Millennial will need people who can face life without illusions. It is not their fault that the Milennials had their illusions ripped from them.
