In January 2018, Joe Biden had a message for millennials. Asked about the plight of young adults facing expensive housing and huge student debt, Mr. Cuddles said, “I have no empathy for it. Give me a break.”
And he’s still at it. Saturday, at an AFSCME conference on public service sponsored by HuffPo, he was asked about that. Biden began talking about his personal experience growing up with “very modest means” and how he felt upon learning about a study that found few young people today would consider running for political office.
“We have an obligation to get engaged,” he said. “You all have an obligation to get engaged. Don’t tell me how bad it is. Change it. Change it. Change it. My generation did it.”
It’s worth noting here that yes, his generation did change it, but with no help from Joe “No Forced Busing” Biden, who did everything he could in office to stave off those changes. Maybe he could give millennials gig-economy budget tips — say, by stiffing service people on bills and charging rent to Secret Service agents.
