Somehow the young person is the problem here? They had nothing to do with the change and is now trying to deal with where things are now.

On age and agism, of course genetics help but you need the right attitude at all ages. I'm certain Mr. Obermeyer has lucky genes but he also has the right attitude I've seen in people with or without lucky genes.

The 'blame game" has been around since language evolved. Unfortunately it is much easier to try to simplify, imagine, and blame,,, than attempt to understand the complexity that is reality.
The direction in which the finger points is invalid in any direction. "What's wrong and or right with world,,,,, is not generational, unilateral , or exclusive,,,, it's situational, multilateral, and inclusive. And I agree with Darrell Scott when he sang " The good ol' days are just good and gone" And the universal profundity hidden in Grace Slick's statement, " we were creatures of our time"

I saw a meme the other day that said "Xennials: OK BOOMER"
below it said "Also Xennials" and there was a video of a college age student struggling to use a can opener. Got a literal LOL from me. |

Forgetting about the lower performers, dullards, whatever you want to call them I see young people who know a whole lot more than past generations. I'm seeing kids get in the work place who really knew/know how the last recession impacted their families. Tease about that cel phone but in an enterprise with hundreds of employees I see our young people getting into leadership are better collaborators and faster problem solvers.

It's just a shame it's written in such a us-vs them, yellow-journalism fashion. There's a way to say things without personifying an imaginary young cashier who would actually call out an old lady based on her entire GENERATION, while checking out groceries . This young lady is an employee at the store and is blaming a customer for ruining her entire world? Then, the fictionalized lady has perfect response, complete with very sermon-like rhythm of the repeated sarcastic phrase: "we didn't do the green thing back then". Propaganda isn't all about lies. It's mostly about using carefully selected truths to pit one group against another. Pieces like this on Facebook are basically asking you to choose a side. Do you agree with the old lady or not? If you do, you're picking a SIDE? Is this kind of thing actually used as propaganda to make people feel better about not actually doing anything for the environment now? I absolutely agree with reinstituting previous generation's practices which actually WORKED, but I don't even really see a call to action for anything like that in this one. The overall tone sounds more like a justification for ignoring current environmental efforts. So we have a fantasy comeback for fictional check-out girls who want to preach a sermon at us about ruining their lives? Last edited by mattbn73; 12-06-2019 at 11:32 AM. |

Yep. We're far too cynical to care.

Gender is not really the topic here but I'm totally convinced more women along with more young people in leadership is really important where I work.
