Hahahaha! I keep checking my inbox for your attack message. Sad face.

Y'all are just upset that there's somebody to call you out on your old-guy-these-kids-must-be-lazy-for-my-narrative-to-work bunk.

What's this "Called You Out" nonsense? You always give the impression that you're right, everyone else is wrong, and that your word is gospel. FAKE NEWS!

This is circular. When I make comments, they're based on reasoning using data and science and information from as bias-free-as-possible sources. From there, I expect to have discussions with others who see different solutions.

You, as I AND OTHERS have pointed out, use clearly biased foundations on which to make your comments.

So, here goes (again): DST changes are leading to talks about later school start times that unbiased, reliable data has shown to be beneficial.

Secondarily, are teens becoming lazy? Not the ones I work with and know. But they are spending more time on activities, sports, and "chosen" jobs in an attempt to improve their college acceptance/scholarship opportunities rather than just outright work tons of hours at all hours.

When you make comments against what you do not agree with you most always throw in a personal attack, that is my main issue with you and liberals in general. Your way or the highway. Carry on, much more important things in life. Out, have the last word if you must.

So passive-aggression is not a personal attack? Gotcha.

SP's quip about "peer-reviewed" (that Garcia corrected him on) was exactly that.

And who's politicizing this but you?

Any thoughts on start times or DST changes?!

My sausage link fingers don't snap, so it's an impossibility, but thanks for the laugh!

No question that today's teens are under much more pressure than older Americans were. Stagnant wages, increased college tuition, increased real estate costs, increased competitiveness at many colleges, covid, anxiety-inducing social apps...

Except for those who faced the Vietnam draft, or grew up in poverty or an especially difficult home; we had a walk in the park

I think of this often when I compare what I paid at UML vs. what the costs are now—almost quadruple...with wages increasing barely at all.

It is just going to be very expensive for patrons when a business has to pay the premium for life balance that the patrons are requesting.

The worker is expecting the same full-size luxury auto/truck that the patrons are driving, the same weekend of boating/snowmobiling, and the same vacation home.

It isn't a matter of lazy... it is a matter of what they are being taught by the world around them.
