Could of named Desert Storm? Or is that Gen X? Ether way older folks have been labeling the next generation as inept since the beginning of time but were still here long after they die.

Could have**

Yes this is always the way. We will all tell our kids we walked to school uphill both ways in the snow until forever. Hopefully they all still go to school.

In a few years: "Grandpa, what the fuck is snow?"

Some tail end boomers may have fought in Desert Storm but that’s primarily Gen X.

Then millennials took over since then, and Gen Z joined us in the last decade.

The Boomers had Vietnam … and I guess thought it was so fun they decided to make it worse for all their kids and grandkids

We had a war in the desert and said fuck that.

Then we had a war in the jungle and said FUCK THAT and now we stick to desert wars

Of COURSE we're inept - we're inexperienced. What, did you think we were going to spring out of the womb fully ready to run all of society!?

And even then, how da fuq did we manage to surpass them in knowledge of like every subject imaginable - not just computers/technology but climate change, abortion rights, and most everything else besides?!

Maybe sitting on the couch/sofa isn't the best way to learn how the world works? Although I could do it, with just a phone in my hand...

But many will vote for tRump anyway, while yelling at me for being "inept", even as I vote to keep their Social Security and Medicare going that keeps them alive and relatively healthy. Though their happiness is still up to them, so maybe turn off the Faux News that just tells them to be sad 24/7.

But - and this is crucial - many old people will vote for Biden, even while many younger people will vote for tRump, bc while this whole age division thing does exist, it's irrelevant and meant to distract us from the class warfare division that actually does matter.

I don't know if you're serious, trolling, joking, or maybe just referring to the anti-depressant, but it made me chuckle.

They initially wrote "anept," ineptly misspelling "inept."
