Worst generation maybe in terms of psychological health. Definitely not in terms of physical health. We don't have kids working in mines and getting black lung anymore, for example. No kids doing chimney sweeping and shit like that. At least in the west; not sure about 3rd world countries.

No doubt, but using this as an example, I could have pushed my child into selling cars or something else for a career, good and bad jobs always exist.

My kids are growing up in an environment where the power structure is suppressing liberty and freedom and taking control to a physical level. I still contend I'd give up better jobs, better health, and better tech for full liberty. I don't want someone wiping my ass anyway, I'll eat cyanide before that happens.

They are pretty bad in terms of physical health too. Mental and physical health are connected. The main driver of childhood obesity is disrupted sleep.
