Wherever you land on this argument .... doesn't this really remain to be seen?

I won't argue either side, but rather say that we need to see how millennials turn out as adults and senior citizens. We need more time to measure their impact for good and bad on the country as a whole (economics, politics, social issues, etc), and how their actions may affect future generations.

Gen Xers are better than both groups so there is that.

GeauxCougs

3/27/17 11:36am

Gen Xers, by and large, are terrible parents and to blame for the millenial issues.

Gen X started in 1961. So they are 56 now, some with 30 year old kids.

Terrible/non-existent parenting has led to a whole lot of social ills.
