I wonder what his RCMB name is?

I don't know but that was my first thought. He had to be an RCMB'er.. or at least he was wanting to audition to be part of their traveling circus.

Apparently this guy reads tSwill.

If you’re reading this article voluntarily, you’re probably not a millennial, because everyone knows millennials don’t read news. In fact, there’s a pretty good chance you look down on millennials. Perhaps you consider them entitled, indulgent, needy and a little too much to bear — or maybe you’re simply skeeved by their weird headgear, strange hieroglyphs and intricate courtship rituals.

There's no opportunities. It's too difficult, the economy is too tough.

...and now we find out they are food hypocrites, too.

"In a survey of participants ages 18 to 35, millennials reported caring about ethical issues like environmental sustainability and social responsibility in chocolate production. But when choosing chocolate privately, these self-proclaimed ethical shoppers were all chocolate bark and no bite. (Sorry.) Most showed little preference for labels advertising ethical sourcing and instead preferred labels with ingredients they recognized — items like "chocolate" and "butter," rather than "tertiary butylhydroquinone."

They would all probably try to become fur traders or something. Best just to get rid of them and import new ones.

Australia would be a good trade, those guys would know how to drink beer and wrestle 'gators. We could throw in 1 MILLION barrels of Bud Light for all the other Aussies to drown their sorrows.

I agree with this. I doubt Australia would want our Millennials though. Not even New Zealand. You know who might be up for it? Bangladesh. Remember how awesome they were on 247? Always bringing us live feeds of various kickball matches for free. Hard working, want to get ahead, probably will not complain about everything all the time...something to think about.

And now this:

People under 30 have way weaker grips than they did a few decades ago

Sonsabitches are a shame to our country.

If you get a weak handshake from a millennial, don’t blame him or her. It could be a generational thing.

Researchers from the Winston-Salem State University in North Carolina found that men and women under 30 have weaker grip strength than they did back in 1985. Their work was published (paywall) in the Journal of Hand Therapy.

The researchers asked almost 240 men and women under 30—most 20 to 24 years old—to exert as much force as they could on a hand dynamometer, which measures grip force in pounds. On average, men’s hand strength decreased by 20 pounds, and women’s hand strength decreased by 10 pounds.

GENERATION JOB-SHY Millennials are lazy, self-indulgent and lack the initiative to be successful, warns lifestyle guru Martha Stewart

The millionaire lifestyle guru Martha Stewart has issued a stinging criticism of the millennial generation and claimed youngsters are too LAZY to get ahead.

Too many members of “Generation Snowflake” are still living with their parents rather than getting out into the world and making something of their lives, the celebrity businesswoman raged.

How many engineers and H1B1 workers did the boomers have to compete with out of school?

How many Chinese and Mexicans did the great unions jobs of the 60s, 70s, and 80s have to compete with?

Why is it incredibly tougher now than it was when Boomers were young to start a business?

But not sure how you are supposed to 'win' when your competition works for less. Losing proposition 100% of the time.

Yeah, why don't you settle for $4 an hour like those guys in Mexico! Win! Why can't you work as cheap as an Indian? Win!
