160. Do I care? Well, I can read.

If you lack the empathy to be able to place yourself in a younger person's shoes and imagine seeing the long trains of hypercritical replies above about the hopelessness of "the younger generation" and what your reaction might be, I'm extremely skeptical about your sincerity, that you care, and that you'll ever be able to interact helpfully with that younger generation, especially given the unjustified flaming you dished out to Celerity, who responded seriously to the OP and interjections and didn't deserve your scorn in return. Get a clue yourself!

Someone under this OP has been contemptuous, derisive, dismissive and a whole bunch of other unpleasant things and gone off on tirades because their fee-fees, and they imagine those of others, have been hurt, and it's not Celerity, myself or the others who've pointed out that hypercriticism of younger generations has been around for time immemorial.

My own reply above was not dismissive. It was a contribution based on my own experience that pointed out that talking about "the younger generation" (certainly not in the way you've displayed) is not as constructive as talking with them, and that involves listening to their concerns, needs and perspectives with a degree of respect, and also recognizing that poor levels of language expression are definitely not restricted to younger people, based on my 30-odd years of professionally hacking through verbage of various qualities.

Nor is dissatisfaction with current mainstream work environments and practices restricted to younger people. I described my own reaction and solution above. For example, many were very happy not to be forced to commute to a workplace every day during the COVID lockdowns. Where the work allows it, that's been an adaptation that the world and the environment, not to mention quite a number of people, have been crying out for for a long time. And the likes of Trump, who's not done a square day's work in his whole life, are determined that this cannot be tolerated and workers have to forced back to the old ways of doing things, for a variety of self-serving reasons.
