i'd like more details on ways you think things will change, i know some of us i'm included in the group have seen our parents struggling and also know there's such a major increase in national debt that we're afraid taxes will ever wipe out any chance at sustaining a high standard of living so instead of saving / preparing / starting businesses/ investing we're mainly sticking to our checking accounts at least i am
Well, the problem is that most of the steady jobs were taken by boomers
You ever read those articles where a boomer gets fired and enters todays workplace to find a job and they are totally out of their depth?
That is because jobs themselves have started to change and the requirements are higher than ever. Often requiring independent decision making, autonomy, and carrying some of the burden of the company's success.
BUT Millenials are not given POWER
When the keys of that power shift, I think you will see millenials become STUNNED by just how kept down and lied to they were and start thinking about how to use that gap in wealth to either be totally bitter or generous. The extra productivity could be used to improve countries, and the world and how it runs, changing it from an industrial age model, or it could be used to exaggerate corruption and self interest and create an extremely high unemployment rate, increased automation, and cement in a poverty class.
Boomers operate on a BELIEF they have more productivity than the other guy, but this is actually a reverse bubble, and when it POPS, productivity will seemingly spike from no where. And millenials won't be prepared, so it'll be like a wild firehose.
You just have to use logic to decipher what that firehose hits, and whether it destroys or creates. Either we are all PISSED or we all become wise and strong, it will be a HUGE test of character. And boomers are totally ignorant of this coming test of character because they were never tested. They offload that responsibility to us. And I think we have to be BIGGER than them in every way, and if we do, we will literally transform the world.
So I get annoyed when boomers think, we are trash. It all depends on us. Hate us, don't believe it, scoff. But we are the ones who are truly going to aim this cannon about to go off.
