Don't be disappointed when Millennials turn out to have the same distribution of intellect and curiosity and kindness as every other age cohort in the history of the human species.

It's not magic. They're not special.

I hope they make a better world than the Boomers did. Hard to imagine a worse one. But they won't do it because of any intrinsic quality in themselves. And even if that were the case, then the only real credit for that would go to the people who raised them -- the Boomers.

But they are getting ****ed in a way the boomers didn’t early on.

the North remembers and I’m counting on millennials to do the same

Who gets f-cked is driven by numbers. When the Boomers' numbers drop below a tipping point, Millenials will vote themselves all of their money. Because all generations are the same.

I recommend doing this with 100% tax on inheritance and gifts.

The funny part is the Millenials are the next Boomers.

Their numbers dwarf GenX and GenZ. Everything everybody thinks of the Boomers will then be thought of the Millennials.

And it will just as dumb.

This is not going to go how you are planning, though.

The vast majority of people who "make money" are like me -- we climb into somewhere between the 75th-95th percentile.

And every person in that range will now vote Democratic out of self-interest.

The problem with the Right's coddling of money is that they f-cked up and became entirely captured by the top .01%. The top 1% will go along with that because they have a shot at being top .01% someday. The top 5% will probably delude themselves into thinking they have a chance too (they don't) and vote R.

But other than the 1-in-20 the top 5% represent, it's now the case that the more money you make the more strongly you vote Left-Liberal. That is the great change in the Right since the 1980s. They used to steal for the top 20% of the population and, together with the religious nuts, that was a winning coalition. But now they have shaved that to the top at most 5%. And there just are not enough religious nuts to compensate for them losing the upper middle class to the Dems.

Now add in more and more people becoming educated and concomitantly falling away from the cult and becoming repulsed by the Right's racism and misogyny, and you have a serious branding problem for the brownshirts to which their only answer is to end democracy.

100% correct. And then the “democrats” they elect are going to do exactly the same thing Chuck and Nancy and the rest of them have done, forever. Rich Democrats like their money just as much as anyone else.
 
You mean they will pass actual legislation and sometimes help someone? FOR SHAME!!!

Wait, WAIT! I've been voting "democrat" this whole time, and our politicians are rich too, including millionaires Tim Ryan, Bernie Sanders, and Elizabeth Warren?!? Oh. My. God. I guess since the hypocrisy of the "democratic" party has finally been revealed, I need to rebrand myself as a ride-or-die independent voter. I don't know what the Republicans stand for, but I'm sure it can't be any worse than rich democrats protecting their own.

Both sides are the same! Banning birth control or lowering rx drug costs- basically the same

One must remember that if one party struggles to lower rx drug costs in any meaningful way, regardless of any conflicting interests, like, say, needing 10 Senators from the other party to even allow your legislation to receive a vote, which waters down the bill but I digress, then the resulting back-slapping and glad-handing from the party in power passing the watered-down legislation is actually worse than doing nothing at all. And, as we know, doing nothing at all is good for the status quo, and the status quo in America is good for rich people, so f-ck Chuck and Nancy.

You mean like actually taxing the rich, paying for education, heath care, infrastructure, social security....

Could you be more disingenuous?

I was not one of the 19, as I had submitted my resignation weeks ago after being headhunted repeatedly by a former boss to join her firm, partly selling out and partly as an escape hatch on my end. But I wish I had the balls of the one guy in the article when I did turn in my resignation letter:

"I wish you success. I have my doubts." That's Mark Twain level of awesomeness.
 
Is she a big Trumper or culture war idiot? I understand wanting your own management, but I just don't give any benefit of the doubt to Republicans anymore.

So I worked with her husband for about 18 months in a previous job. We got along fine personally and shared after work drinks occasionally.

But they are true believers. She campaigned on suing the liberal Biden administration and will follow thru. She was also high up in Steve King's office at one point, which tells you something.

Everyone knew management was going to get canned as soon as the election was called. It's the 10 or so rank and file attorneys that got canned as well that make me scratch my head.
