Why Young Americans Are Giving Up on Capitalism

[skidadl]

You really are going to keep pushing the idea that finding actual facts to back an argument is somehow a bad thing?

I think the hard time you get over that is that anyone can start an article war by posting something that someone wrote to back something up. It is literally easy to argue both sides using google.

The article said that the current thought process was that youth was rejecting capitalism. You posted and stated that this ideology was also attributed to your generation but you don't buy into it. If you don't buy into the posted article then you are debunking the hypothesis that youth are moving away from capitalism and it is erroneous. Bernie is an advocate of socialism and anti capitalism. He has a huge youth following so they would be saddened that by your comparison of your generation that there actually isn't a falling away of capitalism. Therefore the article by your analysis isn't correct.

Obviously some sarcasm but that is apparently your thoughts about the authors hypothesis.

I said nothing of the sort, but I get it you have a hard time following things.

I responded directly to a post that implied that lack of motivation to improve, etc, was germane to this generation.

What I posted simply said that each older generation looks at the new generation with a skewed perspective that has little to do with reality and a lot to do with the observers perspective.

Let's get back to the original topic.

Does everyone think young people in america have the same opportunities that there parents or grandparents had?

Can they have a comfortable living without any college or certification?

Theoretically, of youth don't have the same opportunities how could they work as hard? You know, since there are less opportunities. Wouldn't that make it impossible?

 

[2233boys]

Yes and yes.

Privilege!

So is the article skewed since the current generation is being looked at? Remember I am using your words above.

I think there's a difference between willingness to work, and how hard someone can work.

The "millennials are lazy" sort of implies they don't have the same drive as precious generations, that's patently false. They just aren't prepared to work the same way previous generations were.

I wasn't talking about the original article. I essentially, said so twice, once by implication by quoting fortbest and the other by directly saying I was responding to fortbest posts.

During a press conference in Florida while Democrats were preparing for the third night of their national convention in Philadelphia, Donald Trump was asked a question about his stance on whether to raise the minimum wage.

Here’s what he said:

"The minimum wage has to go up. People are -- at least $10, but it has to go up. But I think that states -- federal -- I think that states should really call the shot. As an example, I live in New York. It's very expensive in New York. You can't buy a hot dog for the money you're talking about. You go to other states and it's not expensive at all. Now what it does is puts New York at a disadvantage if the minimum wage is up, companies move out and things, bad things happen. At the same time, people have to be taken care of. But what I'm really going to do on the minimum wage -- but it has to go up.. .. So I would like to raise it to at least $10."

Holly crap! Was that Trump or Jerruh?? I guess there's some kind of "billionaire by some miracle of God" lingo...

See, I don't really even know what this means. Please clarify.

And what is wrong with that?

I have no issue reading a different viewpoint in fact this place would be a lot better if people brought a logical argument to the table instead of going with because I know some people.

 

[Jiggyfly]

Slanted articles do not count as facts.

It's a good thing I never post opinion as fact then right?

I doubt you even read them and I am dam sure you could not comprehend much.

 

[Jiggyfly]

Please do explain how one can "act like" something online and how you came to that conclusion.

This generation does not work as hard as generations past. Care to dispute that in some way that makes sense without being retarded? My generation has a long list of its own problems. Work ethic being one as well.

I guess this makes sense to you.

Especially since you get call me retarded again.

So let me see, you can use personal experience to make a point but when I do it its retarded?

And to end it all you agree with me.

The whole premise is about the original article and the subsequent posts.

It's mind boggling isn't it?

And frankly he is an idiot for saying any of this.

That you can't follow a conversation, no, we've seen it time and time again.

He said it clumsily and I firmly believe he was just saying what he thought people wanted to hear, but I don't disagree with his sentiment.

I agree.

And it shows you the echo chamber some are in.

Can't believe Forts tried to call me out like that.
