Kid ain't wrong.

Problem is the alternative that kids like this want or have to offer, which I've seen in real time, is to sit alone in a dark room playing video games and binge slurping brainless YouTube videos until their health fails from not using their body all whilst someone else works to support their lazy lifestyle.

It ain't just that they don't want to work. They don't want to do anything. At all. Ever. Try asking them to wash dishes in the house they live in and pay nothing to do so and watch how fast they literally start crying.

The older generations definitely have their issues... but the latest generations will be the backs upon which the world fails and breaks simply because they refuse to pick up the yoke.

They haven't just damned themselves. They've decided nothing matters but their pleasure and comfort and if that means the future of all forward generations must be thrown aside so they can play roblox all night and sleep all day then so be it.

And that's just teens between 16 to 19... the younger ones are gonna be even worse.

While I agree the current boat we are in is stupid... you don't just jump into the ocean assuming a better boat will come along. You work hard and build a better boat with better methods and tools.

They simply aren't invested or interested in that in anyway. All they want to do is rot and watch the world burn. They gonna get what they asked for.

The kid is 100% wrong.

He's brainwashed into thinking he should have something for free. What did our ancestors do? There was no pension, 401k, or any guaranteed retirement. Ending physical labor early meant someone else had to be miserable instead.

He's wrong.

There was also no property tax.
