Young People have it worse off economically than previous generations. Sadness and concern are the result.

People have quickly taken to the blogosphere to critique the piece for improperly comparing our generation to our parents’ generation. After all, the piece fails to mention that our parents had less unemployment, more access to union jobs, a lower uninsured rate for health insurance, cheaper tuition, and cheaper and more accessible home mortgages.  They also had a higher average income with a high school diploma alone and made about the same as we make today, despite the dramatic rise in costs and our productivity. Basically, life is pretty bad, and empirically worse for millennials than their parents.

Thanks to the NRA:  All can have a semi-auto gun or two or three and if you feel afraid you can shoot and kill someone and have a good chance of being found innocent.  The NRA is looking out for you. (Scarcasm)
