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.
And once again, it’s the boomers who were on those state legislatures. I have no doubt that what they will do is increase the voting age up again. Since it’s clearly the young people screwing up everything and we are not to be trusted.
Wouldn’t the irony be palpable? The same generation that demanded that it be lowered to accommodate them, pulls the ladder up behind them?
