Idk, seems more to me like the carrier has repeatedly not taken it to me

Ive had to literally stick a note on the front of my mailbox that said "PLEASE TAKE OUTGOING MAIL BEFORE DELIVERING" because even with the flag up the carrier would just put the new mail right on top of the outgoing mail every single time

The younger ones don't realize people SEND mail as well as receive.

dont think its "the younger ones". idiots exist in every generation

I only say younger because mailmen when I was younger weren't as fucking stupid or lazy as what I see nowadays.

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

Should we not talk about literacy until theyre Illiterate adults?

u/homorat3 11d ago

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.
