    The 18-21 year olds in 1980? The Baby Boomers who are 61-64 now?

      If Gen Z could do basic math, they’d be very upset right now. Thankfully Common Core made sure that will never happen.

        And even then you’re giving genZ too much credit. They don’t legitimately give two fucks about the world. If they did they’d go after Coca Cola / nestle. Not someone’s gramma who has all the power of a pen cap to control the world.

          I don’t think any generation is a monolith and I’m sure there are plenty of Gen Zers who both don’t go after their grandmas and who do hate Nestle/Coke/corporations in general. My joke was more about how Gen Z was disenfranchised as a result of incompetent educational policy. Common Core is terrible.
