    This is generally what I came to say, except to add that Gen Z is giving me (old millennial) some hope. We were frogs in the pot, but it’s a rolling boil and zoomers like Greta, David Hogg, and the 12 year old who interrupted COP28 seem alright.

    Ultimately, I’m determined to break the cycle of previous Gen calls current Gen lazy. These kids are alright and I wish we had left them better.

      I don’t think they’re lazy but I do think they’re paranoid and cynical. Perhaps understandably, but not helpfully.

        I thought you were saying this about Millennials and Gen X and I was going to agree, ha. Understandably but not helpfully apathetic

      I at least feel like millennials have been so relentlessly screwed by older generations and the portion of ours who got lucky that it’s not our fault.
