    Bro, I’ll tell you the same thing I was told as a young guy in my career. I’m in my 40’s now and this was about 20 years ago. An older guy about to retire said something like ‘ya know, everyone always says that the younger generation is lazy, or dumb, but from what I noticed you guys are doing it smarter and you’ll be better than us.’ I kinda thought that, but it was nice to hear.

    Now I’ll say about 10 years ago, I was recruiting in high school and those kids were leaps and bounds ahead of where my generation was. It was crazy how much they could socialize across cliques and it not matter. Now that I am in my 40’s I have some family members in high school, and I just see them being better. I don’t know how this will translate into the work force or a fight for a labor reform, but I think we need to be more open to their ideas than our elder generations were to us.

      Yeah, I think the generation currently entering adulthood is seeing enough bullshit that they might do a great job leading this country, as long as they get a chance.
