Just what does “twerking on fleek for bae” mean exactly? No, seriously, I have no idea.

As the saying goes “I tried to take the Millennial Pledge, but a baby boomer got to it first.”

It is the whole entitled thing that I have to wonder about. It does seem that the last part is often used to say that. “life sucks deal \, deal with it.” Or just the usual dismissing of people that have not had everything handed to them while the “haves” pretend that they actually worked just as hard for everything.

Elvis was the devil personified once upon a time, wasn’t he?
“The children now love luxury; they have bad manners, contempt for authority; they show disrespect for elders and love chatter in place of exercise. Children are now tyrants, not the servants of their households. They no longer rise when elders enter the room. They contradict their parents, chatter before company, gobble up dainties at the table, cross their legs, and tyrannize their teachers..” – Socrates (469–399 B.C.)

omQ R saidSocrates never said that, it is from the 19th century and deals with the northeastern European culture of that period. Besides, Socrates didn’t make statements, he asked rhetorical questions.

Not to mention that people of the nagging generation actually CAN save 10% of what they earn. They had government support of education, so don’t have $100,000 in student loans. But that was taken away to give tax cuts to the 0.1%.
