I love millennials! This listener sends me this link on Facebook to this video bashing millennials but I love millennials because they are gonna be the generation that’s gonna do it! They’re already rockin’ this world! They care about social issues! They care about the planet! They care about the food they eat and feed their families! I’ve been working on my own version I really want to put together, I wrote my own verses. Just another rockstar milennial to add to my list. All the millennial’s I talk to gardeners or in my podcasters… … We’re a little lazy, but we find ways to be lazy so we find ways to be more efficient. IDK, a lot of the millenials I know are just hardworking! 188.
