For at least the past 500 years in the Western world, each successive generation of kids has surpassed their parents in wealth, education, and standard of living. Why is "kids these days" still a thing?
- drdec 4y agoThat's the reason - each generation has it easier than the previous and doesn't need to work as hard. So the older generation sees the younger generation not working as hard as they did and complain.
- triceratops 4y agoIf the kids are't working hard, how are they beating the pants off their ancestors' achievements?
