Perhaps this illustrates a good reason to raise the voting age back to 21 - so that people that vote have had at least a little chance to experience reality before casting their first ballot.

Given the modern trend of postponing adulthood, I'd say 21 is far too early.

Looks like the young'un is a clearer thinker than the dingbat parents.

Actually what is going on is equivalent to redistributing GPA. “Minority” students are given preference in admissions and in other ways and then preferences are given when applying for jobs, the government mandates quotas while swearing that it does not happen. How different is that from redistributing GPA?

I couldn’t do it. There were times when I took a lower grade because I knew the teacher would mark my answer to a question wrong even though I knew that in fact I was right. I have taken multiple choice exams in which the correct answer was not listed. In those cases I picked whatever seemed closest to being right even though it may not have been what the teacher wanted. This attitude resulted in my eventually starting a small business of my own, I could never get very far working for someone else. I now work for someone else again but in sales where I am judged by results and not by someone else’s subjective opinion of what I do. The owner of the business is well pleased with my results, the more I sell the more I am paid and we both understand that if I stop selling I won’t have a job and if he starts trying to micromanage me he won’t have an employee.

My dad actually redistributed grades in high school when teaching Animal Farm. Kept two grade books and showed the kids the one with the residtributed grades. He had one class that was so bad the whole class was failing so he made another class that had more grades than they needed help the class with more need than grades. Then the needy class wrote a thank you to the one who gave them grades, my dad suggested the class with extra grades thank them for allowing them to donate their excess grades to such a worthy cause.

What eventually happened was exactly what happened in Atlas Shrugged; the producers stopped producing so there was nothing for the looters to loot.
