As I posted on a similar thread, this is truly the trend. Although hubby and I just barely escaped being millenials, we work with them and our kids' peers have them as parents. It's a total culture shock. Right now we are planning an elaborate professional firefighter funeral (for an amazing human being who happened to be a professional firefighter) and the few milenials on the department don't have complete dress uniforms. They have been given uniform allowances AND STILL DON'T HAVE DRESS UNIFORMS!
They insist that the money was spent on wiser issues (aka student loans that have nothing to do with Fire science) and that they should be allowed to have a role in the service without the complete uniform. They were obviously told no, instructed that they coud be fired, and my husband might have told them that they have no business showing up tomorrow looking like a bag of assholes. Needless to say, they miraculously came up with money for the dress uniforms.
@Wingnut my new go-to insult is now bag of assholes thanks to my husband. Feel free to dole that one out generously.
