Without exception, every one of them is as dedicated and hard-working as any Gen-Xer or Boomer on the payroll.

Actually, there has NEVER been a time in human history when the older generation hasn't complained bitterly about the younger one. Which can set me off, as old as I am, when I hear such complaints.

I agree completely! When I encounter some preachy "these kids today" nonsense from a crotchety bastard as old as me, I invariably reply "said every generation ever."
