The notion of an entire generation failing the next generation is such pablum. I, and most other baby boomers, worked our tails off to build companies delivering superior products and services and creating entirely new business models. The selection of products and services available today at low prices is an order of magnitude higher than it ever was. Society has its problems (crime, out of control ghetto culture, the dumbing down of education, declining church attendance), but every problem was caused by extreme liberal policies.
Cook is spouting pure horseshit.
I get it. He's going the Beto O'Rourke route. I failed, I'm inadequate, I have a lot to atone for, I realize what a failure I am, and want a chance to do better.
