You think it had anything to do with those planes breaking apart in the sky?

    No, its millennials killing the aircraft industry.

    Well, you might have a point. I'm a millenial and I didn't buy a single Boeing last month. Damn you, cancel culture!

    I wish I could afford a Boeing, but I go to Starbucks 35,000 times a day.

    If you had cut out the avocado toast, you could have afforded your own wide-body jet liner before your 30s.

    One Boeing 737 MAX = 6.5 million avocado toasts. You'd have to go without avocado toast for ... uh ... two weeks?

    Thanks for that. Sometimes I wish /s was more popular here, for tone-deaf people like me.

    It's not needed. Need to think about the sentence.

    How could millennials really be affecting aircraft sales? Obviously they couldn't, therefore the comment makes no sense if considered literally. However often millennials are blamed for everything else, so perhaps it's an amusing comment related to that phenomenon.

    I know engineers at my work that would say equally dumb things like that unironically and mean it lol

    I also don't get people's aversion to /s, do they also only speak in monotone?

    But if you think about it, millennials could be pushing a dialogue in popular media that Boeing is part of the big industrial war machine, and deserves to die. I’ve heard lesser fabricated arguments on the Internet.

    In any event, thanks for the heads up.
