such a bullshit argument, dude.

    By 2014, 36 percent of the U.S. workforce will be comprised of this generation and by 2020, nearly half (46 percent) of all U.S. workers will be Pesky Whipper-Snappers (Lynch, 2008). By comparison, the generation before them, Generation X (or Gen Xers), represent only 16 percent of today's workforce.

Millennials have all the economic cards. The "gig economy" exists because of millennials. By framing the argument as one of "sour grapes" rather than "economics" you are directly harming your own ability to fix your problems.

"Fuck this bullshit, there's nothing I can do" is the argument of someone who has given up.

"Fuck this bullshit, I deserve a raise" is the argument of a person likely to get a raise.
