In the course of raising three children with his wife Melissa, Sen. Ben Sasse of Nebraska saw a coming-of-age crisis among the nations youth, which he sets out to fix with his new book, The Vanishing American Adult (St. Martins). In this excerpt from the book, he looks at how the concept of work has changed over the generations and why kids today need to experience and embrace work pain in order to fully grow up

Sasse has been making the talk show circuit trying to make himself important.
The guy is a flake.

The generation has known no real adversity. So they have to invent it. Thus the safe spaces and inflated traumas that threaten their coccoon.

Sasse can be wrong about a lot of stuff, but he is right about this.

For many, just seeing the word “Trump” sends them into a world of pain.

Millennials are the antichrist generation.
They have all the ingredients for totalitarianism and murderous killings.
The depraved mind Paul talks about in Romans 1:18-32 is literally their generation perfectly described.

I am a Baby Boomer and my son is a Millennial.
He has worked his ass off to get a foot hold in today's world.
Many baby boomer parents just won't launch their child because they themselves were raised totally spoiled and they don't think their kids should suffer harder then they have.
Is it guilt? I do think it is weakness.
The baby boomers need to get out of the way, before Millennials just decide to kill us off.
Stop voting for big government.
Kick your kids out into reality ville. (Not College) Yeah, I know this is to the choir here at FR.

Sounds too much like “equal obligation of all to labor”
Here’s an old fashioned expression: I don’t cozy to Ben Sasse. I wouldn’t let my kids either.
