Do these people not realize that Gen Z by definition is the future??
Also, wtf
Meh, the NY Post is garbage anyway. They want people working 16 hours a day for as little as possible. I wouldn’t give too much credence to much of anything they say.
This whole article reeks of pro-corporate propaganda. It’s the last ramblings of a dying generation.
NYPost is a right wing trashrag. I have it blocked outright on my Pi-Holes.
It is not surprising at all that they are promoting anti-labor drivel.
Go out of the house and go… where?
In sociology, the third place refers to the social surroundings that are separate from the two usual social environments of home (“first place”) and the workplace (“second place”). [x]
There aren’t places to go anymore. There just aren’t. Libraries, but they’re underfunded and aren’t well-suited for socialisation. Parks, if you live in an area that has a planned/maintained one. There aren’t any nice pedestrian-focused city centres for people to visit just for the sake of visiting, to sit outside drinking tea while listening to the birds - just miles of thoroughfare and parking spaces, covered in smog and traffic noise. Who would ever?
Many countries (especially US and Canada) are so car-centric that they might not even have sidewalks at all in huge areas. Housing is sprawled in low-density suburbia. It’s hard to go over to a friend’s house and play a board game with them or host a party if it’s an hour and half driving commute to get there, so we’re not even visiting each other’s homes.
The only thing that exists anymore is the place you earn money, the soulless big box stores you spend money (if you have any), and home.
So, yeah. We’re all fucking home, because home is free, comfortable, and has a short commute.

Because they’re working the other way around. They want to push people to go out and spend money or work making them money, and worked backward from that to make a ‘problem’ that’s the fault of an entire generation.
What a silly article. Seems to be human nature to point the stick at some group of people you know nothing about, and say they are the problem.
It’s very monty python…
It’s worth remembering that the New York Post is essentially a right wing tabloid. Same with Washington Examiner.
They’re definitely part of the future, but Millenials and X’ers aren’t quite done being the future yet either. We’re all part of the future until we aren’t anymore.
yeah 100%
