Not hard to move the needle from zero.

Cynicism aside, I'm cautiously optimistic...and then I remember who the parents are of these kids.

God knows I watched my peers fucking up their own kids decades ago.

Every new generation is shit, but guess what, they aren't ones in power. If you want change it's the boomer in charge who you should be talking about. This is the world they built, it's not the kids fault they're inheriting a burning house.

Yah, I'm not buying it. If they're more private, it's starting from such a terrible baseline as to be imperceptible. Every teenager I've seen would sell their baby brother for 10 seconds of Tiktok viewing.
