Millennials get a lot of crap. We're stuck in childhood, we lived with our parents too long, we're killing the napkin industry and business formal dress codes, etc etc. Of course, a lot of Boomers act like we haven't experienced three recessions; the collective trauma of 9/11 and repeated mass shootings; and the realization that … Continue reading Millennials Are The Torchbearer Generation
