I wonder if we will have a generation without these doomsayers. Every generation there are claims that everything is falling apart and not as good as it used to be. Literally every single one. Yet society continues to advance and move forward regardless. Maybe it’s time we start ignoring the curmudgeons despite their successes when they were still relevant.
The kids are alright. Yes, even the ones who use TikTok.
