What Mass Shootings Say About America
On the day that Aurora theater shooter James Holmes was convicted on two dozen counts of first-degree murder, a 24-year-old man opened fire at few states to the east in Chattanooga, Tennessee, leaving five military personnel dead. That same day Dylann Roof was given a trial date. The coincidence of tragedy seemed to send a message: we’re producing twenty-something, male mass killers faster than we can prosecute them.

Young Cord-Cutters Concerned About Costs but Willing to Pay for Streaming
Younger viewers think they’re paying too much for streaming services — but they’re still willing to sign up if they want to watch a particular show. That could be good news for the Walt Disney Co., which earlier this month said it would launch ESPN- and Disney-branded streaming services, pulling some of its own programs from Netflix. This move “ultimately gives us much greater control of our own destiny,” Disney CEO Bob Iger said during a third-quarter earnings call.

College students have a high tolerance for limiting speech
President Trump is sometimes criticized for what his critics say is a lack of support for the First Amendment based on his frequent attacks on the mainstream media. But it appears that he's not the only American who thinks there's no place for viewpoints that a listener finds offensive. Some millennials — the largest demographic in the country — do not seem to be a big fan of the fact that the First Amendment protects hate speech, especially millennials in college.

Millennials Fall Far Behind as World's Richest 1% Hoard Half of Global Wealth
Anti-poverty advocates on Tuesday implored world leaders to combat the massive wealth gap described in the annual Global Wealth Report released by Credit Suisse, which showed that the world's richest one percent own just over half of the global wealth. "This report highlights the huge gulf between the haves and the have nots—the world's richest one percent own more than everyone else combined while the poorest half of the population share less than a penny of every...

‘Selfish baby boomers stop new housing’
BABY boomers are blocking ways of solving the housing crisis facing the young because they ‘live in another world’, Sajid Javid said yesterday. Older people oppose development projects and unfairly accuse millennials of spending on ‘nights out and smashed avocados’ instead of saving for deposits, the communities secretary claimed. He said boomers ‘who have long since paid off their own mortgage’ are ‘not facing up to the reality of modern life’. ‘Without affordable, secure, safe housing we risk creating a rootless generation,’ said the MP (pictured).

Don’t like talking to people? Automation will save us from the hellscape of human interaction
From what I can tell, as I watch my few remaining follicles wither and die, male pattern baldness is a phenomenon almost entirely without merit. First you have hair that bounces and swishes like a young Leonardo DiCaprio riding a stallion along the surf, and then it goes away and suddenly you’ve got a thumb for a head.

Generation Screwed
Why millennials are facing the scariest financial future of any generation since the Great Depression. I am 35 years old—the oldest millennial, the first millennial—and for a decade now, I’ve been waiting for adulthood to kick in. My rent consumes nearly half my income, I haven’t had a steady job since Pluto was a planet and my savings are dwindling faster than the ice caps the baby boomers melted.

Millennials are lost and unhappy. Schools like Yale think they can help
It takes a lot of hard work to get into places like Yale and Stanford. But once students make it to the Ivy League, many find that while they’re ready to tackle Shakespeare and comparative political systems, they’re lost when it comes to building emotionally rich, and balanced lives. To that end, a growing number of top universities are offering courses that aim to put students on the happiness track.

Millennials Love Bitcoin And Hate Stocks
Financial pundits the world over, more comfortable in dealing in tangible commodities and assets, have described the cryptocurrency scene as too volatile to risk long-term investment. Whether you agree with them or not, it’s hard not to see why they should reach such a conclusion. Almost all of the large financial and commercial institutions have taken a pass when it comes to utilising Bitcoin or its competitors in anything but the most experimental test markets. So much so that when Banco Santander recently announced its roll-out of an altcoin powered money transfer application, it was big news.
