Coronavirus SZN Forever

OK, but they're also the generation was told that they can be anything they want to be and the world is their oyster if they just work hard and to follow their dreams, and then when they did and came out the other end with a huge great freaking debt and sod all in the way of options we laughed at them and said "what the freak did you expect from your poncey liberal arts degree? Go and make my coffee and drive my Uber while I pull this ladder up a little more." They're the generation who went through school doing active shooter drills while the older generation on the news networks and in the halls of power said "this is terrible, really nothing we can do about it, thoughts and prayers".

I can't imagine how hard it must be to part of that generation, by comparison we had a golden era. It's not surprising to me if large amounts of them don't give much of a excrement about us and those older than us, it's more surprising that so many of them do.

This blanketing response was unnecessary. I never said I disagreed with you. I just didn’t agree with the use of the word entitlement. I’m not one of the people laughing at anything. If I had any kind of a background in engineering or electricity, I’d be in a way better way than I am now.

And that's why a lot of young people flocked to Bernie. Political revolution. People are pissed off. On both sides. That's a big reason Trump won the RNC nomination last year. I hate comparing Bernie to Trump because I like Bernie, but both have benefitted politically from angry voters.

Wish they'd do that in NYC.

My job's basically like "Stay home if you want, but you're using vacation days."

These are the people that will soon be taking up hospital beds and other people will die as a result. No need for politics or demographics to explain, this is just stupid.
