Like I said before, no one who works at Tesla has to work there. With Tesla on their resume they could pursue a cushier job anytime. Dwelling on a start-up's imperfections in an industry notorious for being difficult to innovate in shows bad faith. You've already made it obvious in the past that your real problem with Tesla or any company is profit. You'd have the same exact position on Tesla even if no one got hurt, because you have an antiquated and irrational view of profit. So you can dispense with pretending to care about Tesla injuries lol. --- Do good. Eat communists. <cite>FLUFFYGERM posted [p:913342783] in Millenials...

Millennial spending habits have wreaked havoc on companies from golf-equipment makers to razor manufacturers.However, a new study from the Federal Reserve found that millennials are similar to earlier generations except for one factor: They have much less money than Gen Xers and baby boomers had when they were young.Millennials are less well off than members of earlier generations when they were young, with lower earnings, fewer assets, and less wealth, the study said, adding, Conditional on their age and other factors, millennials do not appear to have preferences for consumption that differ significantly from those of earlier generations.

Romulox28 12/01/18 7:46:34 AM #135:	It's no secret that the cost of shit is going up and wages are remaining more or less stagnant : So I do feel like there is a major earning problem for young people, and usually if you want a higher income you need to move to a higher cost of living area like SF or NYC or whatever. However I think there is also a cultural shift component, since boomers were the first generation to grow up in America's crazy post WW2 prosperity (which is fading). So they used to base their entire identity off of work, conspicuous consumption, etc. Look at pretty much every cultural icon from that era onward and it's all corporations and products. Seems like our gen is eschewing that a bit --- https://imgur.com/LhwwG <cite>Romulox28 posted [p:913349977] in Millenials...

An earlier post ITT reminded me of this old dude I worked with. He was in his 60's, and retired sometime in the last year or so. He always likes to boast about how his son went to college and doesn't have any student debt and his son works so hard and blah blah blah. I actually engaged him one day out of curiosity. His son (AND his wife) still lived with him through their mid 20s and early 30s. He didn't pay any bills, any rent, any food, nothing. He drove a hand-me-down car too. They didn't travel anywhere, and from he made it sound didn't have any fun either. Basically his son and wife watched tv all the time and blitzed their debt rent-free. Like... I'm not advocating for frivolous spending by any means but that just sounds like a miserable ass life to me. Not to mention that luxury of living rent and expense-free isn't available to everyone. What's fun depends on the person though, though. Having no stress is enough fun for some. Some people would rather rent a movie or play a game than travel, too. Hell, even read a book. Eliminating debt that early, you're still well young enough to do all those things after that point, too. Edit to fix being tired and stupid currently. Good post. Sounds like the other guy just wanted to justify his irresponsible spending. --- http://img826.imageshack.us/img826/8131/flame201010170949481638.jpg http://img705.imageshack.us/img705/5517/cateyes.gif Rams: 7-9 <cite>Dat_Cracka_Jax posted [p:913350182] in Millenials...
