    Kids just need to get off their phones /s

    Something I’ve noticed, any time I’m in a waiting room, I look around to see every boomer on their phone while all the younger people are staring off into space. Phone bad though.

    I’m not discounting economic issues as a piece of this puzzle, but we also have solid research that social media is wreaking havoc on the mental health of everyone. Young people in particular. That’s also a big piece of the puzzle. Imagine how many problems would be solved if young people weren’t allowed on social media until age 18. Shit, imagine how much better the world would be if social media just didn’t exist.

    You could always just ask for a raise, or get a higher paying job, or get an extra job, or work longer hours, right? /s
