Last I checked the article was calling the ‘youngsters’ worthless and lazy.

Only when someone states the facts - that boomers have changed things drastically, do people get their dander up. Odd that.

Yeah, it’s a fact that boomers have passed laws restricting when kids can get their license, and restricting when they can drive and where. And then they wonder why the kids don’t want to drive anymore...

Funny, I didn’t see ‘worthless’ or ‘lazy’ in that article.

And, with apologies, I meant to be responding to your posts on the college graduates story instead.

But Boomers have never been a majority voting block, only, I suppose, a plurality—if you’re counting by generations. I do believe it was state legislatures, rather than the general voting public, that more often raised driving ages and placed various other restrictions on all that when they did.
