I'm at the end of a long day. Let's see... 14 hours at computer. But I don't need a study of this kind to tell me the obvious. IOW, I agree completely. Didn't have good instincts on the exact numbers. Dunno when the study was done but I've seen this for a decade or two without really even looking into it.

PART of it, to me anyway, is that the Millenials and Gen-Zers expected the world to be handed to them on a platter, and got a bad attitude when it didn't. Sure, over-generalization but answers some questions anyway. But Boomers and GEn-Xers? AFAIK, had a lot to do with raising a large number of kids that didn't have much respect for authority of any kind other than themselves.

Can't remember when. Long ago. Person who ONLY writes on race complained that she was getting shuffled to side where she works, because she's fifty. Said she might hafta tgake up ageism but didn't. Yah, ALL generations think they know everything and their parents are idiots. But most grow OUTTA that in their 20s, right? Or maybe that isn't the way the world works now, but I'mn a dreamer. I think of how it should/could work.

My comment to the article was that I thought it a fairly strange society that the young know everything there IS to know. And these are the generations that "know" it's better to be "non-binary" when it comes to males and females. Hmph. Mebbe You can smell that I'm not impressed, but don't claim to be "on the right side of history." Wouldn't WANNA be, if that's what it takes.

Like I said. Too tired.., I get up around 2 or 3am so my days PAST done. TY for reply, M. Roscoe. :)
