They don’t know. And they don’t want to know. They’ve grown up with every convenience basically on demand. They won’t ever hold an opinion that doesn’t come from Twitter or Reddit. They probably grew up with a phone or tablet in their hands so they didn’t bother their parents.

Sure, kids ask lots of questions but it’s how they learn. It’s the job of their parents to explain the world to their kids. When my now 10yo was 7, we went to visit a friend out of state and there was a giant distribution center by his highway exit. He asked what it was and why so many big trucks are around. So I explained how the things we buy go from where they were made to the store. It’s not hard.

They embody everything the managerial class wants in a citizen. A dutiful consumer who doesn’t ask questions and who is completely detached from how the world actually works.
