It's for these chucklefucks that I permit the limited use of the slang "cringe" in the negative sense.

The kids are fine. The society we are gifting them is fucked.

I don't want young people giving up, but when nobody has any druthers to even remotely begin to solve any of those problems, what is their alternative?

YOUNG ADULTS TODAY DO NOT REMEMBER THE NINETIES, WHICH IS ALL THE REST OF US ARE HOLDING ON TO. We're not getting them back, guys. We need CHANGE.

How could there not be knock on downstream effects of this? If you don't teach your kids, if you don't raise them to hope, if you don't give them a sense of their own destiny and possibility of the future, how else are they going to end up? Society did this to THEM, it's not a them problem.

Ooohhh noooo. I do not want to contemplate...that would be like 52 pickup on hard mode! 😆

The fuck is wrong with these people.

I'm not surprised, making that 100% clear. I just cannot fathom being so invested in seeing and making other people suffer.

This is absolutely, absolutely, pathetic reporting. He said flat out what he wants to happen, and NPR labeled that as vague intentions?

It's not easy being green.

Y'know, I've seen suggestions of "rat" a couple of times in the comments, and...I see the vision. Could see a mouse or rat fursona for you styled like the character designs in The Great Mouse Detective.
