I fully understand that maybe kids won’t know all of the historical details , but to have 1 in 5 say they don’t even know what happened in WW2 in soooooo pathetic and sad.

But don’t worry- 99% of Millenials can name 2,000 microagressions and which blogs are the most Woke

I think a lot of bloggers/columnists are starting to use millennial for the wrong generation. Millenials are currently 22 - 37 I believe.

Anyway, I find that stat HORRIFYING.

No that’s who they interviewed. I am technically a Millenial which is funny. I think these age groupings are too large. A 37 year old and a 22 year old have virtually nothing in common

Holocaust deniers and they are constantly trying to silence people that disagree with them...
 
The people that know nothing about WW2 are the ones that want gun confiscation. Millions of jews would have been alive if they had rights to bear arms.

It's not the worst stat. The trade skills drop-off from Gen-X to Millennial is what scares me most.

And Boomers thought it was bad to us Gen-X'ers? Most Millennials woke up to work, and were instantly complaining, and changing things (for the worst).

It's why I look for military service when I get applications from Millennials. No, I'm not kidding. If I've got 3 candidates with honorable discharges from the military, I really don't want to consider the other candidates unless all of them are really lacking in experience.

I call BS on that. That’s you mixing up Millenials and Gen-Z.

My age group did not wake up to work and most definitely do not complain. It was damn near impossible to find a job when I graduated college.

It isn’t a crime for people to want good benefits. I’m not for/against unions because I honestly don’t have enough knowledge on them but there is nothing wrong with people wanting good benefits.

...or maybe ever generation just thinks the one behind them are good for nothings. LOL.

It’s the problem with the generation range being too wide. The kids coming out of school now have a very different ethic than the kids coming out 15 years ago.

Please re-read, because ...
  1. I'm saying we don't have a name for Gen-Z yet (those 21 and under), and ...
  2. I'm not confusing Gen-Z with Millennials (22+)

My point exactly.
  1. Did you work throughout college? (how about high school too?), and ...
  2. There were so many Millennials, employers had their pick
I warned and warned and warned a lot of Millennials to work in high school and college, pick up a trade and/or get some office experience under their belts. That's what I meant by Millennials "waking up" to work, something Gen-X'ers, let alone even more so Baby Boomers, recognized.

The reduction in trades and technology, both education and experience, didn't help their career options either.

I started working at age 14, as a technician, for $3/hr, and worked for $6/hr for 3 years in college, 24-32 hours/week, and that experience is how I got my first job -- especially in the recession of the early '90s. People said I shouldn't work and focus on my education.

Nope, getting a "Bs" and experience paid far more dividends than school-only and "As," and how I got my first job.

Now the post-.COM and post-housing busts were worse. I got laid off ... twice ... post-.COM and then post-9/11. I lucked out working for a growing company during the post-housing busts, and we only had a single, negative quarter in late 2008 / early 2009. So I feel for Millennials.

Most Millennials I know 30+ recognize it was the education system and US media that failed them, demonizing the trades and experience over academia. They are also waking up to the fact that one party is not any better than the other.

Define "good benefits"? I think both the left and right are quite absolutist and causing the problem, but that's another story.

Although the Republicans quickly showcased how they couldn't solve it either, or didn't want to. But anyone who thinks the ACA wasn't going to cost the taxpayers and/or insurance companies can survive on constantly losing money haven't accepted the realities of UNmanaged (no limit) costs.

But, again, that's another story.

I'm fine with unions, as long as it's a 'right to work' state.

I never said that. I said Millennials woke up to what work really is. Most Gen-X'ers, let alone Baby Boomers, were laughing at the US media that Millennials woke up with.

Especially since the Millennials are the biggest generation of all. The level of dog-eats-dog means they had to start early, or they were behind.
 
I’m sure a higher percentage of overall Americans don’t know that our perfect Constitution that should never be touched is perfect and definitely never held that those with darker skin aren’t actually full humans with full rights.

You mean when Progressives argued against "Balanced Budget Amendment" in the '90s, citing, "I don't want to mess with our Constitution, we should leave it be?"

If we Libertarians had our way, we'd have about 100 more Amendments, everything from the Budget to dozens of Civil Rights guarantees to Outlawing War except in specific cases. We strongly feel they are needed to stop both the left and right in this country.

Show me where in the US Constitution that it is written?

Representation was always left up to the states, and only re-enforced by the 10th Amendment, whether it was land owners or African Americans could vote, etc... The only things in the US Constitution are ...
  • House of Representatives - northern states balked about counting slaves (those who were counted as 'property' of others, as defined by the states) as people, and the southern states complained they would be vastly outnumbered in the House if some accounting -- hence the 3/5ths Compromise both wanted spelled out in the article covering the House of Representatives.Otherwise, it's still 100% left to the states.**
    • The combo meal of the 13th and 14th Amendments undid much of this, including boosting southern state representation. The 13th and 14th Amendments were then interpreted by the SCOTUS in rulings on state law Constitutionality that dragged on for another century.
  • Various Amendments overriding the states (the 10th Amendment) on who could vote, how Senators and the President are elected, based on civil rights (with or without using the 9th Amendment) and changes in civics (e.g., Presidential selection, term limits, etc...)
**
Yes, even today, unless the US federal government can prove it's a "civil rights" issue, your state does not need to include your vote in how something happens. E.g., temporary appointments and other things where everyone is excluded. It has to be a civil rights issue to be an issue. It's a cornerstone of how the state v. federal works, states are empowered to do just about anything, sans violate civil rights.

The US Constitution has repeatedly been modified to override the states (and the 10th Amendment), to further civil rights of the individual.

Geez, what do they teach people in schools these days?

Furthermore ... if you're so anti-federal Constitution, then you should be for more power to the US states! That's the typical "dichotomy" of the Progressive (and Conservatives have theirs too).
  1. Complain about the federal Constitution, when it's the states that cause issues, and the federal Constitution is amended to address them and civil rights, and ...
  2. Say we need to send more money to the federal, which is the only entity that can declare war, especially for education and medicaid/healthcare when states are primarily the ones with the actual budget burden for them
I swear I want to put 90% of the country in a remedial civics class. Until then, they can just listen to mouthpieces in the US media who are just as ignorant.

That's because their parents were too busy making out during Schindler's List:
