    I have been saying for the past 6 - 8 years that Gen Z is the future, they are different, they are compassionate, etc. My opinion changed on that Tuesday in a bad way.

      As an elder gen Z, I’ve long noticed that the younger half of the generation is different. Gen alpha act like they have actual brain damage. We’re doomed.
