Postin’ About How I Feel About the Millennial Economy

And how it doesn’t exist. I was gonna do some BS post about how it’s morning and post a photo of that bear from Kayne’s album a while back but it seems like people are serious about the goals of Trump’s Penthouse.

I’m watching tv right now and there is some bullshit about how the election won’t be “rigged” (It has already been due to the one sidedness of media coverage) and how the accusations of Trump are of more importance than that. If this wasn’t a conservative leaning website I would cover more on how the RNC has spent $0 on Trump ads as opposed to tens of millions in every election recently but I don’t need to.

So let’s talk about how the millennial economy is a pile of garbage and will actually never recover and I’ll be using anecdotal evidence here so if that’s not your thing, old man, go fuck off back to early morning slots at your local breakfast joint. I had 10 people excluding me and the wife in my wedding party. 9 would qualify as millennials but the other one is an accountant for completeness. Of the other 9 that are important to what I’m saying, three are teachers, one is a business woman, one is in the old folks home helping old folks (when she studied business), one is an accountant, one is studying to be a doctor, one is a political consultant, and one is an actuary.

I have pretty smart friends but it is obvious to see that teaching is over-represented and, although I didn’t note it, three of the 9 are quite marginally attached to their jobs due to aimlessness in life. So we have a situation where they represent a microcosm of the millennial economy where you can teach or go to grad school for a profession and nothing else. Businesses have too many barriers to entry because of the tax code and Obamacare, manufacturing doesn’t exist in the US anymore (more or less), and even things like trucks will be obsolete in 10 years.

Were headed towards a dystopian future at worst and universal basic income at best unless things change. Trump will bring changes when he’s elected. They may not be from him but it will force the leaders to listen more instead of trying to use the media as their personal ad campaign. So vote Trump, old man, because 33% of the economy can’t be teachers and 33% can’t be marginally attached to their jobs and when the camel’s back does break under HRC,
