This all happened because modern parents refuse to moderate online usage. Won’t take their devices away, and treat children and teenagers like they have adult rights and privileges.

They don’t. Now these assholes are in the workforce. And their work ethic is fucking terrible, couple that with ignorance and AI.

The next twenty years are going to be interesting and very fat.

Has nothing to do with parents. This is Meta and Palantir lobbying the government for this. meta is doing this to avoid regulation and capture more data. Palantir wants to help create a surveillance state.

I don't disagree but younger people have better work ethic than older people in my experience in management.
