The more things change, the more they stay the same. I'm old enough to remember "greatest generation" old timers giving "lazy" boomers a hassle because "so what if the factory laid everyone off, just work at the other factory". No old people, you don't get it, the world changed, those careers are gone and never coming back. Then the mythology of the "rust belt" developed. I don't think the greatest gen people EVER really got it. Now its the same thing with boomers telling millennials "get that degree (you'll never be able to pay off) then use it to get that great job (that doesn't exist anymore) then buy that house (that you'll never be able to afford)". And when they don't, because its not 1985 anymore so they can't, they get labeled as "lazy". I would be interested in the analogy of the "rust belt" phrase, what will people call the plight of the millennials in a decade or two? Its interesting in an alternative fiction style to predict how millennials will hassle the generation after them. "hey kids get that social media presence out there so you can get that startup mobile apps job" and their kids rolling their eyes replying with stuff like "come on dad, its not 2010 again, nobody does that stuff anymore".
