Why should any employer expect a college graduate to be able to read? Isn't it enough to know they have high self esteem and isn't kindness sufficient.

The Elite College Students Who Can’t Read Books - The Atlantic

maybe stop trying to ban all the books?

I'm sure every Fortune 500 company has as an interview requirement of 1000 words on the lessons of Beowulf before hiring a new data analyst

personally if I was in a hiring position and came across an illiterate Ivy League grad, I'd be doubly intrigued because they sure as shit must be really good at something.

Right, acid rain and cooking the earth's atmosphere is so much more environmentally friendly.

EDIT: also wind turbines look cool as shit and I guess you prefer well burnoffs ruining the night sky instead?

Acid rain. That's rich. I was warned about that in the early 70's. Still waiting. You are a good customer for the fear mongers.

I refuse to blame Gen Z.

It was us that that restricted their ability to grow and mature. Mom and Dad both worked and had considerably less time to spend with frivolous childish activities. Since the 1990's we have been handing them better and better gaming systems to keep them occupied and out of our hair. Since 2007 we have been handing them, and buying for them, the most advanced phone systems that occupied them and kept them out of our hair. They never did anything outside unless they monitored by a parent or coach.

We didn't teach them beneficial values; loyalty, honesty, appreciation, patriotism, piety, charity, and pity for the less fortunate. They got pumped on ADHD medicines because it made parenting even easier.

We let some horrible people get elected due a created plague and misguided and contrived race riots.

A Green Agenda and Inflation Reduction Act have almost killed the American Dream for this generation. Government entitlements are billed as the only way forward but those benefits are reserved only for certain demographics that place their vices, drug activity, and special interests before the best interests of their country.

Their school teachers, many bound to an unholy allegiance to their America hating union bosses, have been of little help.

College Admissions were based on DEI (disguised racism). F U Harvard.

Now these kids are being launched into the real adult world without having been properly prepared, without having to have participating in all those frivolous indiscretions of youth, and they are viewed as misguided and lazy because of the liberal (socialist) values that have been forced on them.

The American Dream is still attainable. Vote FOR America in the coming election (as opposed to voting against it) and the process of correction will begin. A certain party has tried to sell the young people's future away but the dream isn't dead.

Review the issues. VOTE WHAT IS BEST FOR AMERICA, and then live the fruitful and rewarding life of the American Dream.

Or vote for the incompetent hag and her socialist agenda that are going to place everybody in poverty (equity) for generations.

Like I said Gen Z, It's not your fault, but you're the only ones that can lead yourselves out of the mess that we allowed to develop. That or live like Brazil and Argentina in equity poverty. Please save yourselves.

Please vote FOR America, live a wonderful and fruitful life, and raise your not yet envisioned children to live the American Dream. A "Woke" anti-America vote will ruin your children's and grandchildren's lives.

Just give us one thread without trying to overpolitize it please. The country is so polarized that no one is changing their mind. Don't need to get anymore threads shut down.

Absolutely no person will be changed by this comment. There are other interesting issues to focus on.

You are beyond helpless if you think acid rain isn't a real thing.
