You mean the generation that paid three times as much for college to enter a job market with triple the unemployment isn’t interested in purchasing the assets of the generation who just blew an enormous housing bubble and kept it from popping through quantitative easing and out-and-out federal support? Curious.
When comments are better than the article, Atlantic edition (“The Cheapest Generation: Why Millennials arent’ buying cars or houses, and what that means for the economy”)

notyrcisterpress: Queens, Hookers, and Hustlers:  Organizing for Survival and Revolt Amongst Gender-Variant Sex Workers, 1950-1970 a selection from Mack Friedman’s Strapped for Cash: A History of American Hustler Culture From the Introduction: “The history of the resistance of gender-variant misfits and rebels is incomplete without understanding the central role of hooker networks that united hustlers, queens, hair fairies, and radicals during the 1950s and ’60s, a pivotal era that led to the first gay riots that had the police fleeing the streets in San Francisco and New York. Yet most published accounts of “transgender” history neglect a thorough examination of street queen and hustler culture. We know vaguely about the admirable radical exploits of Sylvia Rivera, Marsha P. Johnson, and the Street Transvestite Action Revolutionaries, yet few authors have situated their projects (opening houses for trans kids on the street, hustling for rent and for raising funds for the radical wing of Gay Liberation) within a history in which these practices were regular occurrences among the informal networks of queens and hustlers turning tricks and defending each other from violence in many urban areas across the United States.” Download the on-screen version Download the printable version

I find it a bit telling that P-Rob goes straight to “that stripper in that hotel room”- ain’t nobody said shit about strippers! That is a deviant mind if I ever heard one, but at least he has the courtesy to take them to a hotel instead of a motel. God knows he can afford it.

If for no other reason religion should be abolished it’s because it manages to take a giant fucking dump on men and women simultaneously. (Though ladies clearly get the crappier end of the stick.) Talk about shitting on two birds with one turd.
