Kids!  I don't know what's wrong with these kids today!
Kids!  Who can understand anything they say?
Kids!  They are disobedient, disrespectful oafs!
Noisy, crazy, sloppy, lazy, loafers!
While we're on the subject:
Kids!  You can talk and talk till your face is blue!
Kids!  But they still just do what they want to do!
Why can't they be like we were
Perfect in every way?
What's the matter with kids today?

They can't all live where there is public transportation that's not a joke, and can't all have a chauffeur or subservient parent.
The answer is probably they hook up with friends digitally most of the time so no need to go anywhere except special events and occasions.
Cars are still selling but the kids don't care...


The boomers are collecting cars or they're left with empty-nesters as the kids move out.
