You're right. That is indeed "this is not that generation." At least not native born, United States citizens.
We are becoming a nation that produces and enables overweight, mentally ill, drug and alcohol addicts that have been spoon fed delusions of high paying, do nothing, climate controlled office jobs.
Over the years I've watched many formerly decent paying, blue-collar occupations become working-poor occupations.
A disillusioned and lied to population, and excessive immigration is exactly how that comes to fruition.
