"an absolutely fascinating explanation of millennials and how and why they tick"

Wow, really? What are we an alien species that needs to be observed or something? Lol
Want to understand "millennials"? Try talking to one. And by talking, I don't mean in a condescending way, like so many Gen Xers and Baby Boomers like to do. Millennials are no different than anyone else. Addiction and instant gratification have spanned throughout humanity's existence. Its about the individual, not the generation they come from. No generation needs fixing. One generation is a group of millions of people with different cultures, families, upbringings, needs, and wants. Some of the most entitled, lazy jerks I've ever met were from generations prior. I know you didn't specifically bring that up, just threw it out there for when it inevitably comes up. Oh, how many millennials I know who spend their days balancing college and long hours at work. Marrying, raising kids, doing their jobs, just like the people before them.
