I'm going to stop blaming generational labels. I should have done it a long time ago. I'm going to quantify the people whom I blame for everything as those with a net worth equal to or greater than an arbitrarily determined net worth of $10 million. If they're going to own everything, they need to take responsibility for everything--own it, in the colloquial sense, as well as the literal. I am not suggesting that we "eat the rich", as it were. They seem to have some sort of brain-eating prion disease, and I don't want anyone else to catch it. Probably best that we just put down the ones that show symptoms, and burn the bodies. As a class, they only number about 1.2 million. The rest of us are about 7.6 billion strong. We could take 'em. We know they don't know how to fight, because they always send young poor people to do it for them, and seem completely unfamiliar with self-sacrifice for the common good. Why $10 million? Because that's "enough", in my opinion. You can retire on it, withdraw the "safe rate" of 3%, and live on this year's equivalent of $300k--which is 5 times the median household income--every year, forever (within a reasonable statistical confidence interval). You get too far ahead of that, and you start to lose touch with people who don't have "enough", at lower levels on the needs hierarchy. At that level, you still need to know how to play well with others, and not be a %%%%%% tyrant, in order to accomplish the great works that require large concentrations of capital. Above that, you start to grow less fearful of losing the trust of others. If there is anything wrong with the Millennials, it's that they haven't yet applied their talent for killing off societal staples and institutions to quite the right people and practices. If you're a Millennial, think long and hard about your student loans and your healthcare coverage, and the people who made a conscious, calculated choice that you don't deserve to have nice things unless you serve, consume, and obey. Put on the glasses. Just put on the f'ing glasses.
