Ask most under 25 year olds at any supermarket deli to cut a 1/3 of a pound of anything for you and watch the reaction: DUUUUHHHHHH! Clueless.
And I've had students in Chemistry class that were in nursing programs that have ZERO idea what the difference between an ounce, gram, pound or meter are. That can be a case of what you don't know WILL kill someone.
Yeah, these are the future leaders...and they're going to run the government? National health care? They don't know up from down. Not all, but many of them for sure.
I have a deep, quiet worry that we have a civilization, of such bureaucracy, such complexity, with ever dumber citizens, that we can not maintain it. Like grand kids inheriting the old man’s company.
Things drift apart, the center doesn’t hold...
“Yeah, these are the future leaders...and they’re going to run the government?”
They already are running the government. In all 57 states.
If we’re going to turn this around, it will take a long time. We already have a genuine political aristocratic class that makes no pretense of being subject to the same rules and laws as the rest of us. The left is in control of every bureaucracy and they just keep getting more entrenched and arrogant.
