Edited Date/Time:
Not to generalize...but I went out to dinner the other night with four young females (friends of friends). This is a business conference in San Diego and we had a chance to go out on the town. They didn't know it. but I am old enough to be a Dad in this group.
I am sucking down a massive Margarita, One of these girls orders a drink and a beer- the others? water. They were all vegetarian. Conversation skills? Not so much. Very serious. One chick said her Uber driver was telling her that he grows weed-- "made her very uncomfortable." I told them I had a medical pot card and got an awkward silence (this is freaking California). One says "All my friends want to work for Sierra Club." Ugh.
My sense is these kids were raised in households where they were warned that everything (meat, alcohol, weed, CO2) will kill them.
Not that they had some responsibility to be fun or something, but damn...what a bore these kids were. My young nieces are the same way. We went to the beach and they wouldn't go near the water. Why? No lifeguard. It's no wonder that young people aren't into doing something as dangerous and environmentally insensitive as racing motocross!
It's impossible for a corporation or government to love you or care about you.
