What an Author! He Insists on Getting Things Right!
George R.R. Martin
is the author of Game of Thrones
He doesn't write very quickly, and this article explains why:
He's a stickler for continuity in his stories. He insists on doing research.
In 1964, when Martin was a kid, he even wrote a letter to Stan Lee to complain about Lee's work.
“I regret to inform you that I found one flaw in this otherwise perfect masterpiece, a flaw that is, regrettably, very common with you. When we last saw the Red Ghost in FF #13 he was stuck on the moon being chased around by three super-powered apes livid with hatred and waving Mr. Fantastic’s paralyzer ray at him. Now suddenly you bring him back in full control of his apes without one single word of explanation.”

Not many kids feel confident enough to complain to a comic book LEGEND like Stan Lee,
but this kid grew up to be an icon, himself!

"Intern Dress Code Petition is Why Everyone Hates Millennials"
-- from HeatStreet
(Nobody really "hates" millennials! It's just that you/they need to learn how the working world really works.)
I guess it begins in high school--students think that circulating a petition about perceived injustices is a great way to have an impact on their school environment. Occasionally, this might cause some small changes, giving students a false sense of power; but rules are still going to be rules, and laws are always laws. There is a world out there that doesn't care how you feel about your wishes not being considered.
This article looks at the they-must-listen-to-me mind-set of mellennials in regards to the work place.
