    Social media is the real world today. Yes, the pandemic put everyone’s life on hold for 3 years and that’s going to screw up people’s formative years, but this article hasn’t done much to separate that out from the gripes every new generation entering the workforce gets.

      Fair point on the second bit, but I don’t understand social media being the real world.

        You and I are having a real discussion right now. It’s every bit as real as discussion as if we were having it in person.

        Social media has been around over 20 years. The attitude that it’s some other world outside the real world that doesn’t count is antiquated. Social media is part of life, just like everything else we do.
