Most millennials graduated shortly after the crisis of 2008. Its a major reason so many of us are unusually much much poorer than the average Gen Xer (who are only somewhat poorer compared to Boomers).
Older millennial here. Economy took a shit right as I was getting out of college and into the workforce. Good times.
My friends and I weren’t financially stable-ish until our mid-30s. And by that I mean we were able to start buying some name brand stuff instead of the knock-offs. Felt like we were kings. But only if we had a significant other to split the bills with.
I’m tired and I don’t care about this country anymore.
This guy sucks ass and the mythology behind him is fucked. He was a nightmare neighbor who dumped his literal shit in an open creek and eventually went crazy and had visions from god to kill people. The only reason he didn’t is because of an effective evacuation.
Yep, got out of school right in time for a recession.
Changed paths, got certified as a pharmacy tech. You can work for a year without being certified as a pharmacy tech, so I was applying before I ever had my piece of paper. I didn’t receive my first call about any of those applications until 2012.
I never found work in that field, and left my home state for seasonal work. I later came back home and crashed into a two year depression. Like, clinical emergency intervention depression. Not sleeping, not eating, not bathing, all that shit.
This time Trump is at the helm. I have no hope. I have no faith in the country I was born in to do the right thing. I assume the military oath all service members take will be forgotten under a banner dripping the blood of “undesirables”, and chants of MAGA.

Immediately before, in my case. I’m thinking of welding some armor to a bulldozer.
Going to pull a Marvin Heemeyer?

Beware the fury of a patient man.

Makes me fucking sick.
