 The new generation, Zillennials or whatever they are, the ones that are about to graduate from university, are truly going to destroy the world. They have made me lose faith in humanity. They are entitled. They feel like they deserve everything and anything just because they are alive and breathing. It truly amazes me, and yet it worries me how on earth the world will eventually be in their hands.

Obviously, there are exceptions to the rule. But yeah, God bless our future. 
 It's not that they will destroy anything. They cannot create anything. They are condemned to a lifetime of financial debt with no hope of ever paying it back.  
 It’s so sad to see, they do not want to do anything. They don’t want to work, they don’t want to do anything productive. I don’t know how or when things turned out like that. 
 I believe this generation will be able to do some incredible things. En masse each generations have unique flaws. Each generation also has it's rebels nd countercultural revelotionaries that will make the world a better place.  
 They are conditioned, just like sheep, but in all fairness so were we.  Some people wake up, but many don’t unless something shakes them out of it. 
 But I don’t get it? How do they plan to make a living? 
 decarbonizing the energy sector 
 Agreed, but I truly feel sorry for them. BTW world will be fine, humanity not so sure 
 As a fellow Gen Z I have faith in Gen Alpha. We were polluted for too long and there was no one to guide us. Gen Alpha have people to look up to.

 Every generation has felt this way about the ones coming after them. 
 this is how every gen think about younger gens, let em handle it when its time, they got ai stuff 
 Do not forget that they will have to deal with a Bitcoin Standard! Value for value! #Bitcoin 
 Weak generation that thinks they know it all...  
 In my experience, they’ve excelled in getting upper management to make the workplace a lot easier and friendlier to be in. They push back on so many ill-conceived explicit and implicit rules that just drain people and don’t actually boost productivity. I’m glad to have worked with some! 
 The future for them and the future for you are two different things. Some will experience more pain than others, so focus on making sure you’ll face less pain than them. When the dust settles, the strong of us who are left will rebuild and make the future bright again 
 I'm an Xer and felt the same way about Gen Y and the others. I'm sure every generation feels this at some stage. As I age I can see that it's just people doing their thing with what they've been given.
