A selection of Bloomberg’s millennial coverage over the past three years

Apparently boomers hurt them too:

Maybe they just hate poor people? Maybe they'd prefer it if grandma had a reason to blame the kids and kids have a reason to blame grandma because neither one is doing well economically. After all, the last people they could blame are the actual culprits.

Because they're Bloomberg's primary customers.

Fun game: count the number of people who write negative remarks about the older generation in this HN thread. And we all thought we weren't easily manipulated...

I imagine Bloomberg is largely aimed at people who're doing well financially, probably lots of Boomer, empty nesters with lots of cash who've politically and economically screwed their descendants.

If course it's writing articles that blame the people who their readership screwed. They're hardly likely to make much hay from something like "Boomers, your pension security is unfair and the rigged housing markets are a travesty" are they?

There is a long tradition in the US (World?) of blaming everything on "the younger generation". Don't you fret millenials, soon they will move on to whoever's next and you will be forgotten.

In the meantime, try not to be so sensitive about it okay? It's really nothing personal.
