Huh?

From the LA Times:

Raised amid a long stretch of financial bounty and weaned on video games, cellphones, iPods and weekends at the mall, many Generation X and Y members have barely seen a time when they couldn't spend freely on the latest styles and gadgets.

Listen up Mr. LA Times Staff Writer,

The older Xers entered the workforce during the 1980's era of "downsizing". The mid to late born Xers got smoked during the dot com beatdown. Conveniently you didn't acknowledge either. I was nearly 30 when cellphones and iPods became wildly popular, so it's quite a stretch to use the word "weaned" when referring to Gen X and the before mentioned technologies.

Next time I encourage you to look through the Times' financial news archives before making bullshit claims. Now go snort some coke like a good babyboomer.

Sincerely,

Wek
