Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
- Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
- No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
That's all the rules!

Agree on that part,
But it is a useful summary of an interesting research paper considering how anyone under the age of 40 is miserable
Want to point out I’m 41 and in the same boat. I can only imagine I’m not an extreme outlier either.
42, class of 2000, one of the original 'lazy millenials' I have always worked harder for less and be told be grateful or we will make it even harder. I don't have a moral to this story.
Don't worry: that kind of "the kids these days - they are so lazy!" commentary is something that can be traced wayyyyy back in media, and was applied to every generation, I bet.
See my comment above, 42 also, class of 2000 also, and I guess I'm one of the few that got lucky in landing a position in a great company. Just turned over 14 years there. We're Xennials btw
I'm also the same age and have had a mix of companies. The ones that sucked I left quickly, and the ones that were good I stuck around.
Though I've never stayed in one job for more than five years and mainly work for private startups, who spend at ton of money on their employees. Free lunches, lots of trips, great perks, and reasonable, involved executives. But I have the right kind of autism which makes me a highly profitable employee.
And I call us the Oregon Trail Generation.
Oh, sorry. Yeah, wasn't commenting on this particular article. Just the TLD in general. My bad.
