We have to replace our appliances more often. Most accessible clothing is also trash after a few months or maybe a year. Honestly nothing lasts.

I’m a millennial who owns three houses, three cars, is caring for a baby boomer, and would love to see Hasbro file bankruptcy after such a snotty, pretentious move. Boomers broke the economy, and the environment, the maternal mortality rate has gone up, and I couldn’t even finish college because my sensitivities to red 40, yellow 5, and so forth victimized me and left me nonfunctional.

Essentially, if life is a house, millennials were given the bathroom with the clogged toilet. Gross and who made this mess and why do I have to smell it for the rest of forever, while the boomers with the golden plunger hang out in the lounge with their cigarettes and statins while gen x is in the kitchen whipping up a big jaded batch of noodleroni.

I was thinking the part I bolded.

However I kind every time I hear about replacing Clothes and furniture. I buy clothes that last and last and I have very few items so I use the same 3 jeans 3-4/wk (don’t always use jeans on work days!) we are total thrifters except jeans. And things last anlong long time.

Furniture... same. Maybe not 40 yrs but 10 years at least

For the most part I feel that millennials were given short end of the stick but I don’t do well w the “replace things” idea. It drives me slightly batty how the millennials throw things away instead of fix things. I’m confused because it seems wasteful and I thought that reuse and recycle was a big part of their motto in life.
