    It’s really popular to shit on young people, it’s pretty much Bill Maher’s entire routine these days.

    I think it’s misguided. All the things that have led to this - education budgets being cut, universities charging extortionate fees, tech ruining attention spans, general malaise because of climate change, increasing wealth inequality, lack of affordable access to mental health care, offshoring of good manufacturing jobs, and so on. These things were mostly the result of the actions of boomers, and they’re the ones still running the show.

    Those same boomers who love to shit on young people.
