Elder millennial here.
"When life promises you lemons as a child and drills into your head the importance of preparing to make lemonade because the lemons are coming and you've got to be ready and get the sugar and the water and the ice ready because you're totally gunna get those lemons and have a lemonade-based future of stability and fulfillment and happiness, prepare to be blamed when the lemons don't arrive."
Makes me cry. The good luck I've had in my life should mean I could retire early. The bad luck I've had in my life means I still have no retirement fund. But at least I haven't gone through foreclosures like a lot of people my generation have.
Don't forget punishing you for spending all your time and money on sugar, ice, water, pitchers, and practice learning to make lemonade.
You should have studied orange juice instead. Why didn't you predict the future!?
Ufff. This hurts
See I'm a younger GenXer and I'd have to agree with this 100%. Except the only addition for me would be there wasn't even anyone around to tell me about the lemons, just a note left on the table vaguely mentioning them.
"Why are millennials killing the lemon industry? We asked 10 boomers for their opinion, and the top answer will SHOCK you"
There used to be a chrome extension that changed "millennial" to "snake people" and it made those articles way more fun
We should have rioted in 2008.
