OMG this woman needs to shut the fuck up.

Cmon, Whoopi a lot of us looked up to you.

Yea this is just sad. I know this is the View, and having unpopular opinions is what fuels ratings and all but damn.

AceFuzzLord ,

Yeah! I expect the voice of Barb Goldberg from Summer Camp Island to be better than that…

HawlSera ,

You’re like one of the only people I’ve seen who acknowledge that that show even exists

This coming from somebody whose job is to just sit around and gossip with other women.

And before that played dressup for 30 years.

Whose name is literally a euphemism for coitus.

Thanks for the input coitus Goldberg.

Attacking someone for their chosen name, even if we disagree with them, is childish and only weakens our arguments. Attack the idea, not the person.

Beg to differ.

Then enjoy the bottom of the hierarchy of disagreement and no one taking your position seriously.

Thanks! Enjoy your lofty position way up in the clouds!

They say: “Work smarter, not harder.”

Millennials went to college, got smarter, then went out into the workforce and saw all the inefficiency in its processes (this 4 hour meeting could have been an email!) and pointed out how to do things differently. The older generations, afraid of loosing power, labeled the different way of doing things “lazy”, and labeled the millennials as such.

Speaking from a USA perspective:

I’m 34. I guess that’s right in the sweet spot of middle millennials. I’ve been hearing how lazy and entitled I am since as long as I can remember. Almost every single one of my generational colleagues have been some of the hardest working people I’ve ever encountered and yet some of the most underpaid.

Millennials on average are more educated, more trained, and more productive (in the sense that we are the largest generational labor pool in a labor environment that is roughly 70% more productive than the equivalent market when baby boomers were in their 30’s) than their baby boomer equivalent.

To top things off, the average wealth gap between baby boomers and millennials has more than doubled since the 70’s and we own less than 5% of all US wealth.

I’m not sure how less entitled we can get, relatively speaking? What I really ever wanted was a somewhat steady, fulfilling career with some meaning and a small little place of my own to eventually retire to. Maybe enough money that I didn’t have to worry too much about bills, food, and rent all of the time. We were told that so long as we worked our ass off, did well in school, got multiple degrees and certifications, put our heads down and did the hard work that we could get that. Turns out: not really true.

rothaine ,

Well maybe if, when you were in high school working at Burger King, you put just a smidge more effort, just a pube’s worth more effort, into sweeping that floor, a senior VP at Boeing would’ve walked in and seen you, and said “Hey kid, you’ve got a great work ethic. Want to be a manager overseeing the new plant?”

But you were lazy. You were putting in only 50 sweeps per minute when you could’ve clocked 75 spm EASY, and the SVP knew that, he saw that in your posture, so instead he just said to you “Hey can I get a napkin”, and because of that lazy entitlement, WITHHOLDING those 25 spm from your employer (God bless), you missed out.

And that’s just one example of millennials being entitled, really it happens all the time. And Gen Z, they don’t even fetch the napkins, they just point to the dispenser on the counter, where it always is, and so there’s no really no chance for them at all.

mmagod ,

beautifully said… the way i feel about things also is… boomers and the immediate subsequent generations are fucking up the country and thriving… millenials are the ones holding it together with ducttape because that’s all we’ve got for now…

and no, im not speaking for everyone in each group i just mentioned

Bytemeister , (edited )

Same. I feel so entitled. My grandpa was able to pay for a house, two cars, a child, my grandmother’s law school and nice vacations, all on a working man’s salary. Sine my wife and I are both working full time, we should be able to afford way more than a shitty apartment that we never get to leave, and to start our own family. Must not have those things because we are lazy and entitled.

    Yeah they start to believe they earned all of it through their own hard work and nothing else.

    Smoogs ,

    ‘the view’ is toxic. If there was an equivalent of toxic masculinity for women, it would be that show. I mean it had barbara Walters as an opinion in where she attacked Corey Feldman for trying to speak out on sexual harassment in the film industry. that should be all it needs to assess it as a garbage program. I cannot believe it kept running after that and found more garbage opinions to taint the media. I immediately lose all respect of any celebrity that gets cast on the view. Although I suppose I should be grateful that it has exposed so many piles of shit in the industry. A sandbox of regret filled with cat turds.

    reverendsteveii ,

    man, the ultra rich really do live in an entirely different universe than the rest of us

    Reminder that, in constant dollars, GDP per capita has . That’s right, we create three times the value that her generation did, we get less of it, and she has the nerve to say “Well if you only work 4 hours a day” when her job is having coffee with her lazy, rich entitled friends once a week. First up against the fucking wall.

    Empricorn ,

    What an out-of-touch Boomer. Even many famous actors acknowledge they are extremely lucky. Without at least the tiniest dose of humility you become entitled. Which is whatever. But when you apply that standard to everyone, it’s absolute nonsense. Not everyone had the money or connections to be set up for life. And not everyone should have the traditional “print money, afford any house and lifestyle you want” style career.

    But they all deserve to have affordable housing, as well as healthcare. That’s being empathetic and actually contributing something as a human being…

    dangblingus ,

    And not everyone should have the traditional “print money, afford any house and lifestyle you want” style career.

    Hard disagree. We created the predatory system that categorizes humans’ worth by how much money they generate. We can change the system so that any worker can afford a real home. Printing money? That’s fake. Humans are worth more than their intellect/skillset/education level/resumé.

    Empricorn ,

    I said “traditional”, but that apparently didn’t convey enough. I mean like the “solid” wealthy careers many parents and grandparents wanted their children to have. So no, everyone should not be a doctor/lawyer/business executive etc. Not because they deserve less, but because society needs people doing all the other jobs… But compensate them fairly.

    AngryCommieKender ,

    The highest paid jobs in society should be teachers, farmers, medical staff. Pay people for what they are actually contributing to the future of society.

    Empricorn ,

    Sure, you’re not wrong. I also believe in a Universal Basic Income, but neither is going to happen, especially not here in the US.

    Numberone ,

    Whoopie doing this shit makes me more sad than other dipshit boomers. Growing up she was Guinan, a character on Star Trek TNG. She was unbelievably old and wise and gentle and kind and, honestly, had the best fucking hats. Every time she says something like this, or shat on Bernie, or whatever it is today, it drives home that it’s all story telling, and makes it harder to believe in something better.

    Weird boomer mentality. When comfortable is an expectation in life this is what happens.

    Lennnny ,
    @Lennnny@lemmy.world avatar

    If lazy means doing a full time job and two side hustles just to afford an overpriced home that you barely spend time in because you’re always at work, then yeah, I’ll admit it. You got me.

    girltwink ,

    I once thought that if i could ever make six figures, I’d be set for life. I could have anything i wanted. Now i make multiple times that number and i can still barely afford a house that’s big enough for my family of 3. I’m house poor and an emergency could bankrupt me in an instant. I’m in the top like 0.1% of income earners. What the fuck?

    there1snospoon ,

    What housing market are you in? City?

    girltwink ,

    Portland, OR. My budget realistically maxes out around 600k, and so far at that price all i can find are weird houses from 100 years ago with various flaws or in bad neighborhoods. Good houses seem to start around 750k.

    jonne ,

    Haha, not quite making as much as you, but I’m doing significantly better than the average person and saving is just impossible. Groceries, energy and basically every other inelastic good just crept up to take up an increasingly big slice of the budget. It’s all shit you can’t easily cut.

    Then you hear conservatives talk about the fertility rate, and young people not having kids and you just think to yourself: “I can’t afford to add kids to a family, we’re barely getting by as it is.”. The family values people don’t give a shit about the economics of having one.

    AnarchoSnowPlow ,

    Family values == “create more laborers plebe”

    NAXLAB ,

    How??? What kind of house do you live in? What kind of car do you drive?

    girltwink ,

    I haven’t bought a house yet. Been house shopping for about 4 months trying to find something in my budget. I drive a beat up old Honda Civic.

    stella ,

    If you make >$200,000/year and still struggle to find housing, you’re the problem. It’s sad how people like you feel they need more money when so many others, somehow, get by with significantly less. Why should you get it before them?

    Probably because you feel entitled to live on the West Coast. You just want to ignore supply and demand.

    FlyingSquid ,
    @FlyingSquid@lemmy.world avatar

    I don’t even understand this comment. Should the West Coast be completely unpopulated aside from rich people?

    jonne ,

    Obviously people should live where the jobs aren’t.
