While it's okay to insist on a dress code within one's home or establishment, outside of such, a woman—any woman—should be able to wear anything from a burka to a birthday suit without being shamed or harassed. And unless you're either denigrating other groups or individuals or advocating harm or criminal behavior, or posting about your company, their customers, or the people you work with, your personal social media should be considered "not job related" and should not be allowed to effect how you're treated at your job or even during the hiring or promotion process. Of course, this is all about what should be. It's unfortunate that what should be isn't always what is.

@harryk8696 Every generation complains about the world that older generations left for them. They do this most loudly at the time they became adults because they think they would do a better job. As time goes on and vision blurs, they start complaining less about the world left to them by their elders and more about the generations behind them, their unrealistic expectations, their bizarre quirks and their wholehearted embrace of scary technologies. Millennials are no better or worse than any other age demographic. If I had to say which group they most remind me of, it would be the baby boomers who were always marching in the streets trying to change the world when they weren't tripping out on weed and trying to avoid a 9-5 job. They showed up for civil rights demonstrations which changed the world for the better and marched against the Vietnam War which probably did a lot less than they think. This is the generation that gave us Greenpiece and Earth Day. Of course later they evolved into Yuppies, or at least the reasonably well-off ones did, and gave us Reagan and the corresponding consequences. Gen X'ers like myself were quieter but we complained a lot too about those who came before and after. We were sure there would be no Social Security checks for us either; now we're desperately counting on them as retirement (or not) looms on the horizons. Of course our elders were freaked out about us. We were all depressed introverts after all. Millennials will do fine. Of course the world looks unfair from your twenties, but they have the one thing needed to overcome that—time. And while older generations should withhold their undo criticism, rest-assured, in a few years they'll be criticizing those punks in Generation Z who will be shouting back at them that they should be ashamed for creating the world as it exists. It's just the way of things.

@kristenlange7074 Of course you don't. No group in their twenties have ever had the money and jobs to live fulfilling lives. You struggle until your body breaks and you can no longer enjoy your money, just like the generations before yours.

He was also Father Mulcahy in the movie M*A*S*H.

None of what this guy says is clear is clear.

@mike4space I did listen. What he claims to be fact is very much conjecture, misinformation, and conspiracy theory.

@mike4space What I'm taking offense at is the China bashing that Meghan led into and that he fed. "It’s clear that China has not been honest about their numbers. " "It’s clear that they could have done far more. " "And it’s becoming increasingly more likely that they’re not being honest about the sources of this deadly virus originat… spreading around the world. " None of that is clear. China's response to this virus was much better than ours. And while I appreciate the Congressman's admonition to not unfairly blame Chinese Americans for the virus, I think the blame that he's directing towards China itself is unwarranted and either ignorant or vicious.

@mike4space We must be listening to two different clips. I quoted what he said that bothers me, and it is unfairly maligning another country. I'm all for testing and treatment and cures, all the things we should have been concentrating on all along instead of scapegoating. To the extent that he's promoting these things, he has my support.

California and Massachusetts are probably not at risk. For the first time in forever, Georgia could be a pick-up. From a strictly strategic point of view, I'd be taking a hard look at Stacey Abrams.

@shad0wCh8ser It goes back prior to the boomers. The push for home-ownership was instigated through the G.I. Bill after WWII. It was the Doughboys effecting Generation Greatness.

Every generation gets its fair share of contempt from the previous generations. I don't know how millenial feelings of insufficiency compare to other generations at the same time in their lives, but I hope that millenials aren't feeling comparatively worse (just for the record I feel like I fell far short of my potential and I'm a Gen-Xer).

Rejecting sound health initiatives has become a badge of honor to the same crowd that rejoices at being intentionally politically incorrect.

Police don't need to be defunded, they need to be disarmed, until they can prove that they can go into a tense situation and not kill somebody just because they got scared.
