Perhaps, Cobrat.
But here are a few things to consider. My dad’s generation dealt with the remnants of the Great Depression and WW II. My dad’s dad ran out on his family. My dad’s mom had an operation on her spine when she was young. Something went wrong and she ended up in a nursing home for the rest of her life. There was no lawsuit or anything like that. It was considered a mistake. Her life was ruined but that is how things go sometimes.
My dad was basically an orphan at around the age of 13 in a dust bow state. He hooked on with a friendly couple that raised him in exchange for him working on the ranch from dawn to dusk. If he didn’t work he didn’t eat. WW II might have been the best thing that ever happened to him because it was less work and provided an income he couldn’t have gotten any other way. The Navy also provided him some job skills. He stayed in 28 years. My mom’s journey, including not given much of a chance to educate herself, working in a sweat shop type factory, was very similar.
That was only one generation before mine. Compare that to the young people that paid all that money for a weekend concert to cavort with models and gourmet food and you might notice a few differences. The Fyre Festival isn’t just about the obscenely inept Three Stooges type organizers it is also about the large swath of the young generation who really think they are rock stars and intend to live like it every chance they get and if they can’t pay for it they will borrow money to do it. I am generalizing, sure. This site is skewed towards the parents of high achieving young people who do amazing things like get merit aid and NMS and so forth. They are not the kinds of young people I am alluding to really they are the exceptions not the norm. I don’t think one can sum up the millennials in a few cliches but if I had to this incident might work perfectly.
