Millennial dads have pathetic DIY skills compared to baby boomers

America is in decay certainly .

Not to put words in your mouth, but perhaps what you are seeing is less of a generational issue, and more of a government issue. Government, we know, will utilize/exploit every resource at its disposal, and so mass surveillance can be explained as a natural progression of government.

I will share this observation, regarding the original topic... I still work on all of my vehicles - I have been working on my/my friends cars since the late 80's. Around 2005 or so, I noticed that I was the only non-ethnic (& potentially non-economic) minority at the autoparts counter. Everyone around me has been spanish speaking... This may indicate to me that common society has become subject to the "service economy" - this is a trend towards communism, where every member has a specialized skill, and relying up on everyone else to accomplish anything that goes beyond that special skill. We see this in parenting too - pretty much whenever someone cites reasons with "experts say". One need only do their single skill/job, and everything else (including parenting) is for the "experts".

So this is it - welcome to the smurfs. Where each and every contributor to society has their own specialized skill. Again, nothing to do with generational contributions, but a natural progression of government, towards communism. It should be no surprise either.

Yep- and this is exactly why public schools were organized & enforced.

Everyone must become a compliant factory worker to serve the Borg.

I dont buy it... Millennials are always going to youtube to learn how to do something. Play guitar, weld, replace an alternator, upgrade RAM in a computer...

Cannot blame the youngster for the way they were raised. To assign blame you need to look to the ancestors.

Pics are from around a year ago before we moved much furniture in.
