On a for real, brighter note:
My 1st cousin's son has 3 boys that have finished or, are in college. He told me that has not paid the first dollar on college tuition. His first son got a full ride at Auburn University in Electrical Engineering, had a job waiting when he graduated. His 2nd son is attending Auburn on a full scholarship, not sure what his major is. His third son is attending Southern Union, a 2 year school, and he will probably attend Auburn soon. The youngest is in public school and is a honor student.
They were all home schooled by their Mom, through the 8th grade, are well mannered intelligent young people that their parents and grandparents can be, are are proud of. I am too.
The oldest boy made the President's list at Auburn at least one time that I know of.
Have a blessed day,
Leon

This is hilarious, but are there really people out there that wear glasses frames without lenses? That's something I've not heard of before.
May be an NBA thing. I know Lebron and Dwayne Wade wore them in Miami.
No idea what planet this guy is from... I love the retread look.
Reinstate the CCC put them in there for a couple of months, should do the trick.

I'm Hurting
I'm already hurting & not even involved. What ever happened to the "Midnight Basketball" thing?

It's True
I think a large majority of our Legislators go around wearing eyeglass frames with opaque lenses. Especially when reading proposed legislation, before voting.

To the boomer comment. Born in the middle of the boomer years (1955) My kids, had I had any would have been born in 75-80. When is the beginning of the millennial generation? 1995?
Maybe blaming them on the baby boom echo is more appropriate?

I know this is a three year old thread, but proud papa does what he must.
That millenial of which I spoke? She graduated yesterday. Four years of college in three years by not taking summers off.
Bachelor of Science in Communications Media.
Minor in Screenwriting.
Congratulations! My children are millennials and I keep telling them that their elders have doomed them to failure but they just keep proving them wrong.
Silly kids.

They don't want checks. They don't know what to do with them. They want direct deposit.
Trades around here are high paying jobs. My brother is a builder in a central Idaho mountain town. Very popular place. His last carpenter was being paid $50 an hour. Proved not worth it, but he claims if you want somebody qualified you pay that or more now.
Have friend whose company is paying delivery drivers (tractor trailer rigs) $38 an hour with benefits and they cannot keep them.
Yeah the country is in a strange place and when it lands back on earth there are going to be a lot of very disappointed people.
I have two grandsons and five granddaughters, ranging in age from 18 to 30. All are potential candidates for "millennialhood", but so far only one of them has achieved it.
Grandson #1, 30, dropped out of college to explore the wacky world of standup comedy. He (or his audiences) decided he was not wacky enough, and he has returned to school at the University of California at Berkeley, studying biology and economics. He has a marvelous long-term girlfriend who is a very successful playwright (at age 26) who is now writing for Netflix until The Plague ends and legitimate theater returns.
Granddaughter #1, 29, graduated at the top of her class with a Doctor of Pharmacy degree, and is the ICU pharmacist in a major hospital in the Kansas City area.
Granddaughter #2, 28, is our "millennial". She graduated from college with excellent grades, and though she has worked and lived on her own, she currently prefers to live with her mother and does not work.
Grandaughter #3, 27, is an M.D., who is in her second year of her residency in internal medicine at the Medical College of Wisconsin Hospital.
Granddaughter #4, 23, is in her second year of the doctoral program in physical therapy at the University of Kansas.
Grandson #2, 22, is in his first year at Harvard Law School.
Granddaughter #5, 18, is just finishing high school, so her millennial status has yet to be determined, but she's really smart and artistically talented.
So six out of seven "non-millennial" grandchildren ain't bad! Maybe there's hope after all.

My son is an early-millennial, born in 1981.
He received an EE degree debt free on a full ride scholarship (no student loan debt!), and has been earning his keep since he graduated from college. He married late, and is now raising the three most beautiful granddaughters on the planet.
I couldn't be prouder.

Don't let her major in something that has no future.
