Air France's New Airline For Millennials

"Todays meal option is a Chipotle-style grain bowl served with avocado toast or an airline pilot style "Wife's Hotdish", slowly aged below optimum temperature for three days chilled with hotel ice and reheated in a mock cockpit. Comes with a side of pithy career track bitterness mixed with subtle hints of sexism" :)

Supporting a family and owning a home are earned, if you can't support a family you shouldn't have started one. It's not up to everyone but yourself to find opportunities. This is the real world and nobody cares.

Funny thing about the real world though, it's not like if you get a serious chronic medical illness you have to put off buying that new car for another year. Even with the ACA reforms it can send a middle class earner straight to destitution, at which point it's pretty hard pulling yourself up by your own bootstraps when you just had to sell those to pay for food and meds.

I'm sorry you had a medical issue at a very precarious time in your life. Your story isn't the common one that has brought on the stereotype of the shiftless, unmotivated millennial and I'd assume you'd rather not be be thought of as such. In every stereotype there is some truth, normally exagarated to fit a narrative or belief. I've had mixed experiences with people in their 20s and early 30s recently, it's been a mixed bag of hard workers who don't care about the finished product as long as they get paid or someone who is so timid you wonder how they get out of bed in the morning. Somewhere in the middle are the people I can work with.

Right? They even come with a back flap and in all colors of the rainbow. At least I don't have to wear a hat in doors.

"Hats? My uncle didn't wear a hat and he's a millionaire, why do I have to wear a hat?" :)

Being financially ruined by medical bills isn't exactly rare, and it could potentially happen to anyone.

I would say the stereotypes of Millennials definitely exist to fit a belief, in this case older generation's notions that young generations are lazy. Which as has already been pointed out was said about pretty much every generation when they were the same age Millennials are now. So I am skeptical that Millennials are significantly different from previous generations. And if you "can work with" only a minority of people in their 20s and 30s, it sounds like the problem might be more on your end.

I was a noob once, I don't see the traits that helped me transition beyond that in a large portion of the younger people I work with. Maybe you're right, there may have been layabouts and nincompoops and in hindsight maybe I don't remember or recognize them as such when I was that age, I was busy working line service, going to school full-time and washing helicopters and airplanes in the middle of the night.

Just to be clear - is the grain bowl GMO or non-GMO?
