I am at the tail end of the Baby Boomers, born in 1963. Once we retire I would not fly, ride a train or drive a car. They were starting this crap when I was in school. By the time these young ones now get out of “school” they are going to be stupider than they were at birth.
We are around the same age. Was having a discussion with my parents about how things have changed since I was a kid.
The most dramatic example I could think of was the fact that I am the graduate of an urban public school system, and I actually managed to learn a few things. That just does not happen anymore.
