idiot millennials in the US make a fashion statement by making slashes in their jeans and wearing caps backwards.

I think the hats (we stopped calling them caps about 50 years ago) backward has been a thing for 20+ years, not to mention the direction in which one wears their hat has absolutely nothing to do with the plight of those in Venezuela. I work with plenty of millennials who are doing spectacular innovative things in the social enterprise space and making a big difference in the lives of others. What are you doing to make the world a better place, or are you just banging out grumpy old man rants about "kids these days"?
Come to think about it, what about the elderly these days. All they do is sit around complaining about everything and expecting all of us to pay out $3 in Medicaid and SS for every $1 they paid in, then they have the gall to criticize those same people who are propping them up for their fashion choices. That's ironic, as the hipsters would say.

How do you explain the fact that the majority of Bernie supporters are millennials?

And how does that make it OK for you two to be nothing more than grumpy old men leeching off society doing nothing to help anyone while criticising an entire generation based on something as absurd as which direction they wear their "cap". Listen to yourself for a minute.

Sig, you were doing fine until you started ragging on those who worked, paid taxes, served in the armed forces and funded countless charitable organizations for decades. Prejudice is prejudice.

No coherent explanation from you? Statistics is a science and nothing you can do to shout it down.

Sorry, my point was perhaps too subtle. I was purposely being over the top prejudicial to a big group of people that happen to include the OP to show how absurd he was being to judge an entire generation on something as silly as what direction they wear a hat. And perhaps pointing out the absurdity that while they focus on how that generation wears their hats, they also happen to be the one's funding their Medicare and SS.

They might vent their frustration on the politicians who have raided the trust funds and refuse to address Big Pharm lobbies and tort reform among other factors which have emptied the kitties.
