My 2 cents: Young americans are giving up on capitalism because they are some of the most impatient people I've ever met. They expect their careers to go from 0 to 60 in no time without putting in hard work, effort, time and experience to get the "dream career" they want. They don't see that great things in life require dedication.
Yes, hello Sander's supporters :)
- angersock 10y agoAre you talking about the hard work of people like Bernie Madoff? Or perhaps Elizabeth Holmes? Or shit, maybe Mark Pincus? Or maybe we just expect to get paid an honest day's wages for an honest day's work--you know, 8 hours, M-F, 9-5. Maybe we expect to get some actual equity in our companies. Maybe we recognize "experience" as mostly just the same self-serving sonofabitch getting away with taking credit for the accomplishments of those under them. Dedication? To the companies of today? Don't make me laugh.
- eanzenberg 10y agoNot dedication to companies, but dedication to their craft and skills. Many of these young kids expect to become masters of their craft in short time and aren't willing to start at the bottom and work their way up.
- raarts 10y agoI am 55 years old. When I was twenty, I was looking at an entirely different situation than the current generation. Right now the future for them is a lot more grim looking as my future looked in the eighties. TL;DR: you are wrong here.
