“If we know cocoa is being produced on plantations in West Africa using slave labor, and then being imported into the U.S., we still have to allow it in because the U.S. cannot produce enough cocoa to meet U.S. demand.” This will now change.

“Newest generation is less ‘self-centered’ than millennials”

ok i haven’t used my tumblr for years but this fucking bloomberg article pissed me off so much that i had to dust off my blog to have a space to rant

i don’t know why i click on the article in the first place. bloomberg is well known for their hatred of millennials

i try to keep up with what gen z is doing every once and awhile. i figured if i kept up with their fads and pop culture then i won’t be surprised or weirded out when i see something that they like. i really don’t want to be like the baby boomers and start thinking things like “in my day…kids these days…my gen’s pop culture is superior…why are you complaining when you have it so easy..ect”

so i thought it was kinda interesting that there will be slightly more gen z’ers than millennials. most gen z’ers are the second or third child in a family with boomer parents or (if my math is right) their parents are very old millennials.

imagine my surprise when i read this little tidbit

“Millennials were “more focused on what was in it for them. They also looked to others, such as the companies they did business with, for solutions, whereas the younger people naturally sought to create their own solutions."”

what.the.fuck

I could write a trilogy on how every sentence in that paragraph is either misleading or just wrong

"Gen Z are bombarded with messages and are a generation that can quickly detect whether or not something is relevant to them." 

i’m pretty sure every generation has a newly installed BS meter that degrades over time.

the rest of the article is cut and dry statistics! two people wrote this short little article and if go through their other articles it’s more neutral news stories. a lot of it is about the super rich and how they are screwing us. also they write a lot about china’s economy. this millennial article is completely out of left field for the two of them.

i know it’s stupid to get so worked up over one little paragraph in a no nothing article that really won’t affect anything.

i’m just so tired of my generation getting shat on by the media. the oldest millennials are nearly 40 years old!

everymillennialisafuckingadult.

when will these media outlets get that?

tldr; bloomberg hates millennials so much they’re praising gen z’ers just to get an extra dig.

excuse me while i go figure out how to block websites on my phone cause i don’t want to see any of their news articles again

Housing Costs Too Much: A Responsive Event Series by William Powhida and Jennifer Dalton

MONTH2MONTH. Featuring the Live/Work space of David Ling Architect in Gramercy Park. Image courtesy MoreArt. “How can you say that affordable housing should go towards artist studios rather than homeless domestic violence victims?” The question, asked on Monday evening by the Village Voice’s Neil deMause during dinner at a luxurious Chelsea apartment, sent some hands reaching for wine glasses.
