Jeff Bezos is a Gen X'er? Globalization has been good for the US economy? And you and everyone your age gets a participation trophy for being around when Amazon and Wikipedia were formed (because Wiki and Amazon have had such a huge positive impact on the world)? 

Awesome stuff! Very funny and kind of sad, but still awesome (and worthy of a little plastic trophy)! Yet, somehow, despite going to college, the kids you raised have bleak job prospects nonetheless... Could it be that genetics and upbringing play a bigger role than generation when it comes to individual accomplishments? Nah, not in the commercial pop culture join-the-club-you-want-to-look-like world...
