The Patrick site always had strong criticisms for boomers.
The poll found that 51% of millennials (18- to 34-year-olds) blame boomers
So your dog takes a shit on your carpet. 100% the dogs fault. Nothing to do with the owner/trainer.
Talk about personal responsibility.
I didn't train my dog well enough to go the bathroom outside
Stunning logic.
Stunning logic.
Actually that's an insult to dogs. Most dogs are way smarter and more intelligent than the majority of Millennials walking the street today. By six months old, a dog has got most things figured out. At 34, most Millennials can't find their asses with both hands. But remember, that's the Boomer's fault.... If they just got one more trophy.....
What is something NEVER seen displayed by a Millennial?

You're learning. They don't have any.
I suggest boomer parents created the problem by trying to solve their kids' problems for too long, then the little dears never actually grow up and they blame others.
I know of very few 31-34 year olds that don't already have houses, some have kids, some have their own businesses, etc.
Most millennials aren't whiney bitches and do quite well.
Anecdotal and doesn't prove anything,
So you must be the "special" boomer that taught your millennial children the right way, right?
Never thought I'd see anyone in my lifetime claim dogs are smarter than a human, but I guess there's a first time for everything.
Idiots gotta stop being idiots.

I didn't train my dog well enough to go the bathroom outside, but that fucking thing is just a "snowflake" because I suck at training it. Lol.
You truly need to get out and away from your self imposed bubble.
Fact is, there's truth to both sides.
Many in BOTH generations suck which I believe is what you're saying.
As a genXer, I have no dog in this fight. Both generations have their positive attributes. I'm not one to blame a bunch of our problems on the faults of whole generations. There are lessons to be learned from observing characteristics of how our society has evolved and setting personal behavior accordingly, though.
I do find that feeling more superior due to demographics, specifically age, is a rather unintelligent point of view though, and will call it out when I see it.
You've said you're retired, right? What do you actually do now?
Even in the past, where have you traveled, what have you done that make you think you're not in your own bubble? Serious question.
I do what ever I want, when I want to do it. I've earned that right.
How's that?
Being superior is due to life experiences, not age. Interacting with thousands and thousands of other people, being involved in many economic and business situations, traveling to many different areas, being on the planet decades longer, dealing with tons of different life experiences that Millennials are clueless about and have never seen, etc, etc. etc.. That's what makes someone superior.
By the Special Snowflakes....
It's because the Snowflakes won't take personal responsibility for their screw-ups, so the only thing left is to blame mommy and daddy for not getting a trophy every week.
Housing is ground zero of the generation battle, and the snowflakes are starting to organize to get out of boomers oppression.

A lot of it has to do with blaming problems on other people.

You didn't need to type anything else after this ;)
Mr. Lubarsky is a sneaky little bastard: he wants to have his cake and eat it too.

Yeah because it's normal to not build enough to house the population you have, and force the younger generation to move to far away shit holes.
It goes without saying the boomers didn't have to deal with this shit but they are perfectly happy to impose that on their own kids.
Squeal all you want. The wheel is turning. Millennial outnumber boomers and will soon out vote you.
I'm not a boomer, and were do you see "squealing"? Lubarsky's will not ouvote anyone on this issue, because they will switch sides once they entrer next phase of their lives: namely the "married with two incomes and a downpayment" phase.
Wake up. Most of this generation will never afford a family house in a desirable city. If you are not building, it's just a matter of time before the people on the outside outnumber the people on the inside.
I've probably not logged into this site for a month at a minimum so far this year. You can't say the same.
Gen X isn't better than these groups.
SFHs will be built on the outskirts and developer-level Lubarsky's will move there. Yes, they will have 40-minute commute by car instead of 20-minute stroll
Cities are dense places. And cities become larger. The dense areas needs to be larger. Then these people who really want a SFH should be the one on the outskirt looking at the commutes.
Nah, it's just a temper tantrum from Lubarsky's who see a very narrow picture of "I want to cheaply live near this particular office building where my ping-pong buddies are, while still getting paid as if I live in an expensive area".
Nothing can be concentrated in one place anymore, especially with the advanced communications we have now. That "density" argument rings especially hollow for somebody who works in a team with members spread between Peninsula, East Bay, San Jose, Austin, Boston and yes, fucking Mumbai.
That's based on FACTUAL posting history here (I didn't make it up).
Only a few days have been missed this month alone. I wonder what the other 3 past months would add up to??
WookieMan saysI've probably not logged into this site for a month at a minimum so far this year.
The FACTS are, I've logged on LESS days this month than those days above.
Those pesky FACTS and TRUTHS.....
Some people just can't handle the truth, specially when they are "experts" on all subject matters in their 30's.
Beset by big college loans, inheriting two wars, and facing an uncertain future of work, a majority of millennials say baby boomers have made things worse for them — and a lot of boomers agree, according to a new Axios/SurveyMonkey poll.
Why it matters: If it persists, the generational divide could turn into political rivalry as the generations compete for limited tax dollars — millennials seeking government help as automation takes hold, and boomers insisting on promised levels of Social Security and Medicare.
The poll found that 51% of millennials (18- to 34-year-olds) blame boomers (54- to 69-year-olds) for making things worse for their generation. Just 13% said boomers had improved things. Generation X wasn't pleased with the boomers, either.
Boomers were split on the issue: 30% said policies created by their generation had made things worse, 32% said they had made things better, and 34% that they had done neither.
Among suggested ways to improve matters now, millennials said:
"Remove all old government officials and term limits for the House and Congress," a 34-year-old male Republican said.
A number said "Impeach Trump" and "vote."
"Sleep more because you will be less sensitive to negative emotions," said a 22-year-old female Democrat.
In another generational divide, millennials are much less confident in their fiscal responsibility than their elders: 56% of millennials said they are "extremely" or "very" responsible in how they manage their money, compared with 80% of those 70 years old and more.
Methodology: This new Axios/SurveyMonkey online poll was conducted April 9-13 among 4,638 adults in the United States. The modeled error estimate is 2 percentage points. Data have been weighted for age, race, sex, education, and geography using the Census Bureau’s American Community Survey to reflect the demographic composition of the United States age 18 and over.
