    Millennials are in their 30's now. They own houses, fight wars/conflicts, and run for political office. You are thinking Gen Z perhaps? Though i suppose plenty of the tail-end of "Millennials" could still be young punks. *shrugs*

    The fact that some of them are in their 30's doesn't have anything to do with his comments.

      They have already grown. The days where it was possible to make them feel special and unique have ended years ago. Probably right around the time the baby-boomers sent them to war for a decade+ and sold liberty for false security.

    All this had passed by Ethanol_Fueled, like water under a bridge, or sand through an hour-glass. He takes no notice, mostly because he cannot. Trapped in a time dimension, is he.
    Such are the Days of Our Lives. (and yes, I am sure that Eth will get the reference, even if no one else does (but there does seem to be a lot of geezers on Soylent News).)
