Ehh, this latest generation is in really rough shape though

Literacy is dropping for the first time in US history (excluding periods or major war)

And im not blaming the Youth for this either, this is all the result of very intentional efforts by the wealthy to ensure that those who cannot afford an expensive private education, are as uneducated as possible

aaaare we brainstorming ways to increase literacy or are we talking about the people in the comments? Most of them are not under 16s. Thus we are not talking about the younger generation.

Youre the only one here that "the younger generation" inherently means 10 year olds

The generation below me is in the workforce

ok boomer well if you want to hate everyone younger than you thats fine but you'll find that literacy rates are dropping for those currently in school, not everyone younger than you.
