My younger sister is living with our parents. She has a job using her journalism degree but apparently it doesn’t pay so her choices are a slum apartment, or my parents’ house. They’d rather she live with them. But they aren’t empty nesters by a long stretch, still got half a dozen younger kids in the house.

Me, I got out after college and am glad I didn’t have to move back but I’m also glad my sister has the option.

According to the census, 56 percent of men 18 to 24 years old and 48 percent of women were either still under the same roof as their parents or had moved back home.

A smaller share of 16-to-24-year-olds — 46 percent — is currently employed than at any time since the government began collecting that data in 1948.

I hope that someone explains to them that this is what they voted for.

Which sums up in one neat sentence exactly WHY journalists are typically Marxist far-left liberals. They just KNOW that their job is FAR more important to the world order than Doctors, Nuclear Physicists, Accountants or Wheat Farmers, but this evil Society is so danged unfair that it is the Solemn Duty of the Government to redistribute wealth and benefits to THEM so that they will be able to continue their critically important work! /sarc...sort of...
