Millennial Bashing as an Art Form

Millennials. Those individuals born between 1982 through 2004 — which would make them between 13 and 35. Presently the largest consumer demographic in the world.

Fortunately I don't rely on them for my ability to eat and live indoors so I do love to take a poke at a few of them on occasion ... particularly when I see them engaged in blatant stupidity like using a word in incorrect context or engaging in "texting grammar" in a formal business communication.

Then there are those who claim to be a "highly skilled" programmers when in actuality all they do is drag and drop a scant few objects in an integrated development environment and call it that. IDEs not withstanding my issues with the progeny of the generation of burger flippers we raised earlier in my career has me a bit cautious because even the millennial physicians are overly populated with morons as evidenced by the osteopath at Richland Hospital who failed to evaluate my step dad adequately and then laughed it off like the stupid female human being she is.

Therein lay the problem with being forced to go to a hospital run by students by the Richland County EMS who TOTALLY misrepresented the facts to achieve this end ... but that's another story.

I have always been pursuant of information. This penchant has carried me through my childhood through my advancing aged "now" and though I always attempt to be tolerant and kind some of the stuff I encounter really leaves me wanting for a level of communication which escapes the vast bulk of those I encounter anymore. Incidentally they all seem to occupy the aforementioned "millennial" range.

So when you think you must address me as a child or when you think you can misuse some phrase or term and chastise me for calling you on it I am drawn back to Mr C Theodore Sands who taught me geography in the seventh grade.

He told me that "it is far better to remain silent and be thought a fool than to open your mouth and remove all doubt". So just cart your stupid moronic millennial butt down the road and don't darken my path thinking that I fail to comprehend your wisdom. What little you have drooled down your cheek when you ate your avocado toast for breakfast thank you very much.
