Send these numbskulls back to 1520 and let them see. 1820. They live in the time of greatest ease and leisure in human history and still they complain. Ooh, dat evil capitalism. Producing poor people who are fat and have iPhones. It’s sad, though, because they’re iPhone 7s and not 11s.
NEA, single parent or no parent homes, poor parenting...no work ethic, drugs, casual sex, video games, greatly reduced outdoor activity, social media, participation trophies, lgbtqrsp agendas pushed onto them, too much given to them for no work in all households, denigration of military service, grade inflation, loss of spiritualism, academia-financial extortion complex, leftist propaganda from aoc, Bernie, and all the other liberals—->everything for free, and etc...imo...
Send them back to 1960. They would have no video games or cell phones, but they could walk to school on their own, play outside without supervision, dive off diving boards at swimming pools, use teeter-totters, merry-go-rounds, jungle gyms and metal slides at parks, etc. And in 1960 "play dates"--arranged appointments for children to spend a few hours playing--were unheard of and the concept would be considered lunacy.
Were I to be transported at the age of nine from the Eisenhower era to today, I would almost certainly quickly become depressed despite all the electronic gee-whizzery available.
The irony is that inventions have made so many things possible and come true, and made life easier because of it, yet at the same time they have made people into ever bigger exaggerators and complainers.
The more spoiled the more complaining and thinking you’re entitled to things, demanding things and then complaining about micro-details.
The inventions that solidify genius into being also create the worst spoiled and implacable assh0les that ever walked the planet.
Send these numbskulls back to 1520 and let them see.

Indeed one of the greatest values of reading or listening to history books is to realize how lucky we indeed are.
Bill O’Reilly’s “Killing” series is a great place to start.
