Look guys, i’m 23 and my generation is as soft as a baby’s bottom. I play video games, but I also have an outdoor job dealing with heavy machinery. IMO it’s all about balance. I’m good with tech and also working with my hands. Majority of kids my age wouldn’t even know how to work a chainsaw

Dang, dude. You managed to piss off the Z's and the millennials by this response. As an X'er I approve of the infighting.

Okay boomer, I bet your generation would be a lot better off if you spent a few hours at war in Europe.

I think the coal mine part is an exaggeration, but I do think there's something to be said for young people nowadays being completely absorbed in their technology/social media, privileged bubbles (as much as I don't like the term "privilege") and unable to realize how lucky they have it and how to deal with others.

Stick that entitled 18 year-old into a busy restaurant with short-tempered customers and I think he/she would learn a lot about the value of hard work, how to deal with other people, and how good he/she has it.

Biden and Dem foreign policy may bring back the draft and Canada could get millions of illegal aliens

That would be a fast way for Gen Z to get their BS laziness out of their arses
