being lazy and feeling entitled. Well, that goes like this: in an economy where sustainable jobs are difficult to find / hold on to - and qualifying for jobs, that are basically glorified clerk typist positions means going THOUSAND$ into debt (when you're not even old enough to buy a pack of smokes) ... Meanwhile, rents are insane and splitting expenses with a roommate...yeah, good luck with that drama.
Young people are resentful??? Young people aren't stupid. While, during childhood - and not quite able to articulate - tell me these 20 and 30-somethings didn't have a sense of possibly being less than welcome, of being in the way (while mom's moving in her boyfriend, and dad?...he's living somewhere in.. oh wait a sec, he's not there anymore). How many young people lost a sibling? Not to a car accident or a freak fever, but to a pre-planned (and inexpensive) appointment at the local moloch-mill.
We've been a society which has been less than child-welcoming. Predating the vapid for-the-children memes by several decades, there came out movies to separate the generations. Prior to the late 60s, mom and dad could take their kid to a movie and not have to worry about language used or things done on-screen. Back then, movies for adults were simply boring to children. When the cop shot the crook, there was no detailed blood-scene - the bad guy just keeled over dead. Hmmm, back then, more than a few producers and actors had served in the war, or had a brother of cousin who served - and saw things, and after so many years, still wasn't right in the head.
Nuts, getting late, got to get ready and roll.
