I do agree - i understand that the author wanted to juxtapose the "lazy and entitled" stereotype with like "actually We Are Tired", but whenever I read a generational analysis like this I think about my working-class baby boomer dad, who did nothing but work and was saddled with debt and financial instability anyhow, who I suspect had depression because of all this.

I feel a lot of coverage of Millennial Issues - both sympathetic and not - have this sort of foundation of "oh no! young middle class professionals are facing issues that used to be confined to working class and poor people!"
