Poor babies

Written by 

Your old mate is constantly surprised at what snowflakes we have bred in the so-called ‘millennial’ and ‘generation Z’ types.

When these poor babies are not demanding multi-million-dollar pads in the best streets as first homes or jobs out of uni in which they start at the top of the executive structure, they are worrying themselves sick about the impending end of the world.

According to the latest research, many of these little darlings are now being ‘diagnosed’ with climate change anxiety, triggered by their distress at looming and anticipated threats about the weather.

As a mate of yours truly says, “If these self absorbed flakes are our future, then God help us.”
