What are we teaching our children?

[walkingman]

1. It appear to be a dystopian world compared to the one I grew up in.

The point you make are valid. As a 75yo liberal I understand that the world and culture changes over time, it's always been that way. I stop and think that most children entering college these days have never known civility as a social construct. Integrity, personal responsibility, character, respect for others seem to all have taken a back seat to social media for them. Today's government at the State and Federal level is filled with people that just a couple of generations ago would have been considered "undesirable" or a "bad influence" for society.

Some of the things that just seem strange to me....
voice mail - no
answer the phone - no
watch tv on a tv- no
shop in stores - no
paying with cash - no thanks
talk to customer service - impossible
hustle culture - the key to success
office jobs - no
formal clothes - no (I actually would have loved to wear casual clothes to work)
going into a actual bank - no
thank you notes - no way, Jose!
Fuck -the most common verb, adverb, adjective, and noun describing pain, pleasure, love, and hate and almost everything else.
