that will help. Their governor is an idiot...

But shutting down the beaches might also be a good idea.

Mom and Dad, their insurance and connections, have his back.

The adults have to step up. That begins with the governor, state legislators, and health authorities.

Do your damn JOBS

No way we'd let our kids travel like that right now.

they're old enough to vote.

and therefore she was going to party.

also believe themselves invincible, but no excuse for those in authority. Except that the businesses
make a lot of money so shutting it all down would not be popular. Tough choices must be made
though.

Many older Americans think the coronavirus crisis is overblown.

and check any local community FB group. Always the ones asking where St. Patrick's Party celebrations are at or what gym is still open or....

Not going to judge them.

18-22 years are not mature enough nor think of their own mortality.

But if they get it and pass it on to Mom/ Dad/ Grandma and Grandpa and they die, they will feel the consequences of their actions.

But probably more likely to avoid mom and dad at that time than to cancel my spring break plans lol.

gawd help us all. And ffs shut this shitshow down.

Was still in college but made good money on my internships and enough delivering pizza when in school.

But, I was never the "frat boy" partying type. I have a neighbor who's in his late 30s and still thinks like that. He went up to the local Irish restaurant last night even....and has a 2 year-old at home.

I don't get it.

except for the polio outbreak in the 50s. One of the few things I can remember from grade school was the morbid fear parents and kids alike had over that one.

Yes, we faced rattle snakes, climbing through caves and driving cars too fast but those were mostly our choices....and as you suggest, some not too smart.

KY.......

young heterosexuals like the group I was in. So in a way, I did face an invisible killer.

The problem is that almost no one that is in their late teens or early twenties think about dying.

Me, in my drunken crazy days and traveling to boot just missed that one but I must never forget those that suffered. I was so grateful to hear it's finally mostly under control, as is polio.

I'll never forget the construction guys on our jobs talking about getting the clap and penicillin shots but I avoided that one too. Damn, that brings back some crazy memories.

KY

And not exactly known for their intelligence or good judgement.

partying and getting laid. I didn't have the money, so I always went home to live for free and pick up a few bucks doing odd jobs for townspeople while on break from college.

so I could make more $$ to pay for the rest of the year. Mind, if I had had the resources I might have joined in on the fun...

That is why the military just loves them to no end,... great cannon fodder.

Yup

I’ll consider anything they have to say

Otherwise these kids are no different from spring breakers 30, 40 years ago

I don't think so. I was never that young and ignorant! At 10 years-old I was far more mature, and so were my brothers, and my children.

As sad as it is scary.

is no different than previous generations. If anything, they’re more liberal, which is a very good thing. It’s the oldest generations that gave us Trump.

Any poll available shows that most young people despise Trump. His approval rating goes up with age.

I was a bit trigger happy, I guess. Stressed from all this corona virus stuff.

I'm one of those. 61 in a couple of weeks.
Of course, that's 61 going on 21, but that's another story for another time.

I'm very disappointed by many in my age group. So many have swung to the hard right.
We were the next wave after the Hippies, and look at half of us now. 70's kids. We had the same cool and mojo as any generation of American youth. We invented yelling "FREEBIRD!!!" for crying out loud! LOL.

But seriously, we all came from politically heady times our entire lives, and there's no excuse for a lack of political awareness for anyone from my time. Some didn't take any lessons with them into the future. The collective GOP has always been a thief, and always will be. A lot of people were conned. Add to that those in yet older generations who still vote Republican reflexively. The GOP they think they are voting for doesn't really exist any longer. To be honest, there are older people ( 80/90 yo) in my universe who have seen the light. The old couple across the street have gone full on Democrat. They're old FDR Democrats who got washed away in the Reagan era. They're Back, Baby!

I often hear those who voted for Trump say that they were feeling "forgotten", and "left out".
Well, they were, by the very people they keep voting for -- The GOP. And, they handled the situation very badly
by seeing Trump as their savior.
A lot of people have been underpaid at their jobs for 40 or more years. Wages haven't risen, but we've all seen a relatively small group of Americans hit it big. People are pissed off, and rightfully so. The problem there is, some people just keep running to those with the boot on their neck in search of help.

It’s a perfect chill pill. Only more polite.

If the majority of older voters didn't reliably vote Republican, we wouldn't need to court the votes of the younger people you hold in such contempt.

Florida has a lot of cases.
20 years from now they will hang their heads in shame when they see this video.

Coronavirus And Spring Break: Florida Beaches Remaining Open, Will Only Allow Groups Of 10 Or Less In
https://www.ibtimes.com/coronavirus-spring-break-florida-beaches-remaining-open-will-only-allow-groups-10-or-2942300

wouldn't be a mountain high enough to stop me from cutting off any financial help - if those kids don't rely on mom and dad..just being in this video would trigger their ears being pulled back...

Then they will spend the next forever having to live with "yolo". Maybe if they put that much dedication into voting Bernie would have more than a spoilers chance, ah well.

They breaked through SARS, Mad Cow, Swine Flu. They don’t even hear it.

It was class, study, computer programming, more study, the pace is relentless. If we didn't have a student newspaper, I would have known zero about what was happening in the outside world.

a future GOP congress critter.

Coronavirus measures are a cakewalk compared to what climate change call for.

the obviously arent mature enough for college

Now more than ever.

online?

I mean at least the Boomers are hunkered down. Someone tell Kinsleigh and Aiydyn that at least the Boomers aren’t as stupid as they are.

Google's all over him...pwned.
