    I want the opposite tbh, kids just don’t appreciate it. Send them to the mines first, and then give them an easy adulthood.

      As a Gen-X, if I was a kid these days I’d be pissed too. It seems as much grief as they’re given by adults, they understand early on they’ve been given the worst hand.

        Our gen made such a big deal about being cynical, yet life ended up being SO MUCH WORSE than even we imagined. Although it does show we were right to be cynical.

        The ones that survive will have it good. It’s like in the movie 300 when they send their kids into the forest. The mines is how you separate the wheat from the chaff
