New generation? You think there weren't lazy people in previous generations?
Certainly but I don't think our society back then was setup to cater to them. Too many bleeding hearts and a political system structured in such a way that half of it is ass backwards to keep the poor, poor, the middle class working and the rich, too wealthy with a financial system that makes it easy to spend what you don't have.
I have a step daughter that at 21yrs old, has 10K in debt cause despite those A grades in school, is a freaking retard to fall for today's financial system with it's hidden agenda's to rake money from those not smart enough to read in between the lines.
A bank should be telling people like her that she can't afford this car working at fast food, instead they just look at her max monthly income and say, sure, your income meets our monthly price and we will assume you have no life, place to live or any other expense. A dealership salesman should tell her point blank..."hey, if you can't pay and we take your car, you owe us half of the cars value" But they don't cause all they want is that sale, they have quota's to meet, banks have nickels to knock and no one gives a rats ass about the other and the rich people pay lobby money to keep it that way.
America is seriously f** up in more ways than one and kids can't always see the forest for the trees because they are not mature and experienced enough to do so and many are raised to a point where they have no real self discipline.
