I’m a Gen Z-er, so I’m very aware that my generation could be indicted here as well (time will tell), but I appreciate you sharing this comment for the simple reason that I’ve never heard anyone voice this perspective, despite it’s lurking potentially in plain sight. And this isn’t a blame game, systemic factors are surely at play. Interesting thought, though.
