Sure, it's the phones and not the fact the Earth is burning while all the people with power are too focused on growing their money piles by exploiting people.

People can't afford houses, kids and the planet might not have a future.

But sure, yeah, it's the phones.

Think about it, without the kids having a way to fact check everything they would have to believe whatever they say, and that leads to my favourite problem solving method, propaganda!
