I suspect the author overheard gallows humor as a coping mechanism in a conversation he wasn’t a part of so he had no context. Or maybe he overheard a couple of jerks. Some percent of jerks exist in every generation. That said much of the lack of empathy in this comment section depresses me more than the two guys walking down the Upper West Side. I sincerely hope this young generation radically changes the world. All of you castigating an entire generation facing down an imminent threat to their lives - well you may find as you age that it’s not as easy as life goes on to break out of a system from within as it may appear.
