      It’s the 1% vs the working class, n9t generation vs generation.

      Don’t let this main stream media conglomerate tell you what to think. Don’t let me tell you what to think.

        Also, because you could probably learn how to make a boat from scratch and then build it and get it all pretty much right before you could ‘earn’ one.

        Which means even with expert craftsman economies of scale and staggering amounts of technical innovation making things more efficient; this society is not for you.

        Whether youre a communist or an individualist, even a randian, this ‘society’ is not in your interests.

        Likr, sure, insulin. But lol who can afford that shit?

      Will that’s not a very constructive comment, is it? I wonder if you wanted to try it you could actually add something meaningful to the conversation?

        It’s a very constructive comment if you consider that the author of this piece has failed to learn from history and will continue to do so, you’re welcome.

          You are unfairly criticizing all millennials by using this author as the sole representative.

            Have a poke around at the pissy ass responses I’ve had to this comment then consider that Reality Bites was a love letter to an entire generation who felt this way twenty years or more before this article came out.

            Failure to recognise history is the very DNA of the millennial. Bite me.
