That's pretty sad that you have no sympathy for them. We told them that they had to go to college to get a good job, then they wracked up huge amounts of debt because society told them to go to school, and then we have no jobs for them when they get out of school. They are routinely disrespected and talked down to by older peers, even when they have good ideas. And they are now the largest demographic coming into have the largest discretionary income to spend.

They are also inheriting a huge national deficit, a world filled with problems that we created, and a lot of them live at home because the only jobs they can get are minimum wage, because baby boomers won't retire, and they can't afford a place on their own. They are victims of a system, it's not necessarily individually their fault.

And yes, they do have entitlement, but so do the baby boomers and gen Xers (I'm gen X).

In fact, I've seen baby boomers with more entitlement than millenials.

I think we should try to have sympathy for everyone. You don't know and can't judge someone else's personal experience.
