Yep.

It's also deeply odd to care about what the kid of a politician, who basically trolls people on social media, thinks about politics. It's like the movie star kid obsession in Indian media.

I'll say it: the title does the article a disservice. The article is a very good explanation of the role of elite ed insttns in the US political imagination, how difficult it can be to get a point or experience across to a newspaper with a set narrative about this.

Well, I guess it's all relative, and people are responding to what they perceived or experienced as insecurity. I talk to a lot of my former students who are recent grads and am regularly stunned at how little the pay has gone up in the 25ish years since I graduated.

We have good local toy stores but not much else...sigh.

Not saying he has a point on solutions, just noting one major way things are palpably worse for the young, that I can see.

Same as a grad student in my 20s. Having said that, most ppl I knew (NGO and govt workers, grad students) could still afford rent in shared apartments. Now the rents have gone up and pay hasn't.

And it's not going to be gendered at all. Or be a problem for those wearing masks during Covid or other viral illness spikes.

That didn't stop the multiple men who shared data and cited each other from doing just that, in the Watson story.

oooooooh.

Feelin' groovy?
