  We millennials have a lot going for us right now.
  For one, we are more tech savvy than any other generation that has come before. Which explains why when you help the baby boomer in your office copy and paste a paragraph, he stares at you like you just proved Einstein’s Theory of Relativity.

  No, not Labor Day. Frenzy.
  After a summer of wild growth, gaudy sales figures and social media infamy, CNN Business reported “a nationwide shortage” of White Claw Friday, and, of course, media in all directions picked up the story as if White Claw was suddenly the Ark of the Covenant (now in refreshing black cherry flavor!).
