When millennials buy a product, we want to purchase an idea and invest into society. Previous generations may be quick to take the best deal, but millennials would rather pay more for a product that is helping the world. This seemingly small change in thinking has completely transformed the world of business.
Kim Jong-un, just like a classic millennial who graduated into the recession, experienced failure-to-launch … his nuclear warheads.
Mohammed bin Salman, for his part, is also into classic millennial activities, like escape rooms. Think of when he and his father locked hundreds of their closest allies and relatives in the Ritz-Carlton, Riyadh, some for months.
MBS, of course, likes to message on WhatsApp with his pals, including fellow Power Millennial Jared Kushner, who allegedly gave the crown prince advice on how to withstand the controversy over ordering the beheading of journalist Jamal Khashoggi. Kushner bought property with down-payment money from his daddy, which is just about the only way anyone born after 1980 can afford to do it.
Stephen Miller, meanwhile, came up as a typical David Brooks–style organization kid, running for student government in high school (he said students shouldn’t pick up their own trash, because that’s what the janitors were for) and writing columns for the newspaper. Like many a millennial, Miller has helped evolve his parents’ political and social consciousness in recent years (except in his case … toward racism).
And Mark Zuckerberg? The Ur-millennial, really, and not just because he created social media as we know it.
So if millennials, as the economic-trend pieces have it, have killed home and car ownership, mayonnaise, beer, J.Crew, marriage, fabric softener, and sex, maybe it’s time to add “democratic norms,” “the internet,” and “the world” to the list and cower in anticipation of the impending midlife crises of these five men?
Isn’t Teresa’s FA anniversary coming up soon? How many years has it been (I’m too lazy to do the math.) I usually rely on Rotifer to remind me and the rest of us of dates like this stuff. Some of you guys are unbelievable. I can barely remember my own birthday.

I’m seeing only the younger generation. They seem unequipped for any kind of warfare. (Or viewpoints.)
