The kids I know in their teens, 20s and even 30s want nothing much more than their I-Phones and a small car!!
My step son and his wife want everything on a beer budget. They also think that everything and everyone’s life should center on them...
Don’t forget the cool name brand shoes and apparel, which are the only other tangible, durable goods with which they appear to concern themselves all that much outside of a decent LCD screen tv and if male a gaming platform attached to it.
They live in a fantasy world online via social media and gaming. The world itself is just a prop or photo backdrop for “so cool, look at me” photos posted to Facebook.
Remove their perception of coolness and being special, get confronted with a very unhappy person, it all turns into a pumpkin and they don’t want that.
It verges upon compulsion, evem psychosis with some. We’ve had to let so many seemingly promising twentysomethings go because they absolutely cannot stop texting, posting and checking Facebook.
Both of which, are imported.
So no jobs, support them.
We need to bring back lots, and lots, and lots of US jobs.

Worse, that’s all that they can even imagine.
