They’re not deserving of our respect unless they earn it and experienced enough life to understand pain and taxes. Don’t give people like that the time of day. They don’t deserve it.

What these people have degenerated (or perhaps never actually generated into) is something like alcoholism. An alcoholic can’t exist for very long without enablers. Their parents, the professors, AND OURSELVES enabled this, some actively, some passively.
I believe at least to some part this situation can be explained by the dearth of jobs for people under 18. Oh, those jobs still exist, but adults (many with families!) have them. Or, they have been “legislated out” - for example, some of the jobs I did in high school would today definitely put the officers of the companies who signed my paycheck in prison.
