  • "The 80 million–plus people born in the United States between the early 1980s and the late 1990s stand accused of assassinating various hallmarks of modern life. The list of the deceased includes golf, department stores, the McDonald’s McWrap, and canned tuna. Millennials tore up napkins, threw out mayonnaise, and mercifully disposed of divorce and Applebee’s before graduating to somewhat postmodern crimes: “Have Millennials Killed Serendipity?” With the national murder rate in long-term decline, it may even be said that Millennials are killing killing."
..that's pretty good! Many brownie points for style! Excellent! :)
  • "Millennials “sense that they are both America’s impoverished generation and its moral guardians—absent on the payroll, but present at the revolution."

    Why would young people feel such revolutionary fervor? Maybe it’s not because Millennials have rejected the American dream, but rather because the economy has not only blocked their path to attaining it but punished them for trying to.

    Millennials are the most educated generation in U.S. history to date. They bought into a social contract that said: Everything will work out, if first you go to college. But as the cost of college increased, millions of young people took on student loans to complete their degree.

    ... (Y)oung people took on debt to pursue a college degree, only to discover that the cost of college would push the American dream further from their grasp.

    Is it any wonder that Millennials are eager to overthrow a system that has duped them into a story of permanent progress, thrown them into debt, depressed their wages, separated them from the trappings of adulthood, and then, for good measure, blamed them for ruining canned tuna?"
..by the way, I absolutely LOVE canned tuna,.. if it's that all white chunk in water type tuna! Yummmmmmmm...
