Meathead Posted February 11, 2017 Share Posted February 11, 2017 Many of us are starting to deal with millennials flooding the workplace. We've already identified that they're the worst generation. How do you fix the problem? great link thanks the solution is the same as it always has been and always will be: internal development some ppl call that spiritual development, but that gets confused with god so i want to be careful. you dont need god to become spiritually enlightened. you can get there with many different templates, including religion, secularism, agnosticism, etc. the template doesnt really matter, what matters is how you manifest within that template lots and lots of great books to learn how to do this. but like that speaker says, it takes dedication and work and is a lifelong process that often is very difficult. no quick fixes, no easy answers. its total self application to the goal of becoming spiritually enlightened throughout your entire life Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd be curious to hear how everyone would differ based on application and experience In all seriousness, it's a useful concept and the emphasis on soft skills is one of the reasons we like the west coast for educating our daughters. If you don't raise girls to know how to understand and control their emotions, they are in for a world of hurt down the road.

To learn to control it you need to get !@#$ed a million times over to know you can overcome the bull **** that happens next when your hash tag fails,your skinny jeans get ripped or your cell phone has less than 20% battery. I have literally seen plans fall through a hundred times by people whose cell phone was not going to last them long enough just in case of missing contact.

Meathead Posted February 12, 2017 Share Posted February 12, 2017 I agree it was angry white people that gave us Trump, but let's not say that like a large segment of them don't have an excellent reason to be angry. I fought against those people my entire life on Race issues and I've personally witnessed many of them finally abandon their racism only to be continually accused of it by a culture that sees whiteness as racist by default. That's extremely unfair to these people and they shouldn't be subject to that because as a premise it is utterly ridiculous. Even if we just want to go by the legacy of slavery itself there's absolutely no doubt that most of slavery through history including right now today is done by people of color. So this widespread belief among blacks and enabling whites that whites have some tendency to be racist above and beyond any other race is preposterous. And yet that's what most blacks and a great percentage of whites believed in the run-up to this election and kept hammering white people over the head mercilessly.

Deranged Rhino Posted February 12, 2017 Share Posted February 12, 2017 Who gave us Trump? Angry white guys, i.e., PPP. Millennials wanted Bernie. Settled for votes for Clinton and Johnson. This is laughable analysis. Laughable. The largest contingent of Bernie voters were... who? White guys. Who was by and large the "angriest" segment of the three major candidate's camps? Bernie Bros. If you doubt that, then you never left your house during the election or set foot in NYC, SF, LA, DC, or any of the major urban centers. My lady, who is a HRC supporter and was running for local office out here was accosted daily by Bernie Bros and Gals for wearing a Hillary pin. Saying "angry white guys" got us Trump while Bernie supporters voted Johnson or Clinton is just plain false. Do you realize how many "never Hillary" voters there were in Sanders camp and what their demographics were? Of course not. Cause if you did, you never would have made such a ridiculous statement. Everyone voted in their self-interest. For once. No, Chan. Only angry white guys voted Trump. Ignore the 53% of white women who voted for him. Hell, just ignore all facts, logic, and reason and reduce it down to an explanation that makes no sense whatsoever (but makes you feel superior) and then you'll be thinking like BF.

She was wrong in many ways. It was the impatient people that wanted to pump out the flooded basement too fast (ie: drain The Swamp) that brought us Trump. And when you do that... You run the risk of a foundation crack, failure. Jesus Christ! We have a Republican boot licking Congress & a system w/a short bench. This leaves watchdog lawyers and a brave Federal judiciary in Seattle from keeping the foundation from buckling due to the sloopy and careless pump out! And... There are no signs of the sloppy governing abating. We get what we vote for and we all knew what we were voting for. It wasn't like we weren't warned.

If I may chime in. You're right. Funny thing, from how I viewed it, the OP video wasn't even attacking young people... Which you know of course. How the thread turned into an attack on Millennials is beyond me. But... Look who their parents are, there is a reason why Millennials are also called "Echo Boomers." In my eyes, an attack on young people is an attack one's own generation. Anyway... Carry on. I agree with mostly everything you are putting out. I am sorry that may scare you.
