Re: What's on your mind?

[pantswarrior]

Usually the boomer rebuttal to that is "in MY day, we had home ec class!"

...Yeah, and now education budgets have been slashed by conservatives (largely made up of boomers), books are literally being taken from school libraries and burned, and the kids have to go through active shooter drills, which I'm sure leaves them totally at ease and ready to soak up knowledge during school. :P

And then there's the growing opinion among conservatives that education is "liberal indoctrination" and thus public schools are bad and not only should they not get any funding but you should take your kid out and homeschool them - meaning their kids aren't going to know anything they don't teach their kid about personally!

I am definitely not inclined to place any fault on people younger than me for stuff they don't know how to do yet. Life has been kicking them in the face all along. Gen X had our struggles, but not like the younger millennials and Gen Z have. Just... agggghhh. LEAVE THEM ALONE.

Man, ALL OF THIS. I had home ec, too - it taught me how to sew on a button and make a couple desserts, that was IT. It was a shite class.

It's like their nostalgia goggles are on so tight, they can't see a single, solitary shitty thing that Gen X, Z, and Millennials have had to live through.

And no, Boomers, it's not the great depression or a world war, it's just insidious, unrelenting, all-encompassing economic and societal GRIND that actually includes the longest running war in American history and the rise of fucking white supremacy and neo-Nazi bullshite and climate change and.....
*throws up hands*
Yeesh.
