I am not envious of their moment in history. It would not be too arcane to compare them to the generation of young adults during the great depression. A hard row to hoe and desultory Republican leadership with no clue of how to do anything but make things worse while blaming the victims of their criminal ineptitude.

Not an altogether good day.
