The first half of millennials (and this is one area I have much common ground with millennial democrats) have spent the last 15 years trying to convince people that we're not lazy...and then the second half of millennials and early wave Gen Z came along like "pfft! We never promised we wouldn't be lazy. Tough shit man, we're just gonna live off our parents while you do the real work". A lot of the more reasonable millennial democrats have switched over to our side cuz they're sick of this.
A lot of the more reasonable millennial democrats are unreasonable then. Republicans are HORRIFIC! They only oppresse the people in the name of free enterprise and guns. You don't have any way of proving what you say about late-wave millennials and early Gen Z.
The people quitting their jobs recently are not of one sub-generation; they are of all ages!
Take this job and shove it! After a while, given the opportunity, people will quit their shitty neoliberalReaganomics-era job and look for better options after being subjected to horrific oppression by bosses and slave wages. Labor is asserting its rights! Under renewed neoliberalism after this shitty election, there will be more rebellion! God Damn America!
