Anthony Fava: "The lack of interest in driving is a legitimate critique of Gen Z, which predate"

The lack of interest in driving is a legitimate critique of Gen Z, which predates COVID so it's beyond an economic problem. The parents are also at fault for failing to force them to learn and instill this responsibility.

Yet another friend with a child turning 16 next week. Hasn’t gotten a learner’s permit. Zero interest in a driver’s license. I keep hearing this same story. What’s WRONG with these kids?!?! On my 16th birthday, my mom took me out of school to take my driving test. Same for everyone I knew. Even if you couldn’t afford your own car, you could beg the use of the family station wagon occasionally. Freedom. Independence. Heck, privacy on a date! Are these kids giving all that up for scrolling TikTok and an occasional Uber?

@FavaAnthony Do you think COVID was the instigator of our economic problems? Our economy has been in an accelerating death spiral since the 70s. It has nothing to do with GenZ and everything to do with the world they were delivered by their elders.
