As evidenced by articles about the worst people in the world lamenting that those young poors aren't buying enough diamonds, are ruining the economy, killing the golf industry, ruining handshakes, andmuch, much more.

Very seldomly do they mention that millennials are the first or second generation to be significantly poorer than the previous one, meaning that we can ill afford what previous generations took for granted.

Also, a lot of the things we're "killing" are arguably in NEED of killing, such as the cartel-dominated diamond industry, environmentally ruinous and dreadfully expensive sports such as golf, and truly bizarre things like so-called diet products high in sugar and low in protein
