They blamed millennials for being too educated and now blame gen z for not being educated enough, they're apparently the only generation that got it just right. Convenient.

Hey look! The boomers are shitting on Gen Z now!
Millennial-Super-Trick: Ignore them. It drives boomers crazy.
Can you imagine how horrible it was for those of us whose parents are boomers? They were unstoppable.
This, but in reverse: Gen X have been ignored so much that they have to pretend that they're causing it themselves on purpose 😉
They REAL Forgotten Generation is two generations younger than the official one..
My preferred method is sending them to retirement homes and not visiting.
Todd Farley, boomer.
And by values of course they mean racism, sexism and bigotry.
less educated, more depressed, less values
Can you blame them? I feel bad for the kids, they've never known a world with hope. The world has always been shitty, but at least a lot of us got to grow up naieve to it
People aged 19 on average are less educated than older ones? Who could have expected that?
Older gen Z is in their mid 20s. Higher education enrollment rates are declining. I don't see much wrong, factually, with that point of the assessment.

This is in great part an effect from the pandemic. It remains to be seen where this trend ends up.
The wrong is that older people know more, because they had more time to learn things.
What's sad is older people actually knowing less than gen-z or gen-y...
Gen Y is Millennials
And ?
"Without Values" Yeah, it's amazing what gets rubbed off when the social contract has been lit on fire.
I'd argue that the excesses they see being displayed all around them are the teachers.
Sociopaths venerated as gods on social media, normal media sanewashing the blabberings of a tired old senile racist sexual predator. Grift, theft, treason and racism all out in the open and beiing rewarded and normalized. While at the same time being bombarded with live feeds from wars raging on the other side of the world alternated with influencers that show you a heavily sponsored Lifestile sold to you as normal.
The fact they will probably not have normal access to public services we have grown accustomed to, won't have a social safety net, not a pension while being priced out of a home is not helpful either.
