Pure uncut Boomer slop, not being able to conceptualize the 2nd and 3rd order consequences of their own failures. Why would a 16 year old get a learner's permit for a car he reasonably can't buy? Obama's Cash For Clunkers program killed 677,000 cars that would otherwise be affordable on the used car market. The car plants all got offshored. The same regulatory bureaucrats made it so that a new or used car is prohibitively expensive because it's now just a computer system with wheels. It uses your house's Wifi to send your driving info to your insurance company to rat you out for speeding or braking too quickly. That's if the Flock cameras don't report you first. Where are they going to exactly? To the mall inhabited by roving gangs of masked shoplifters or a sea of unaccompanied East African "teens" or fent zombies staggering through the streets? Most of the malls have closed anyway. Retail shopping is online. Are they going to see the next Marvel movie that has their favorite character replaced with a quippy lesbian black woman? What money are they going to spend? The money they can't earn because all of the minimum-wage starter jobs now have to pay $18/hr and include full benefits so employers just eliminated the positions or automated them away? The ones that are still available have DEI requirements that make it illegal for them to hire a regular white kid, so instead it's going to a 70 IQ hood mother of 7 who is making "part time cashier at McDonalds" her lifetime career so she can still collect welfare. Moms are no longer "taking kids out of school to take their driving tests" because the ones that are married and normal have to work some humiliating pantsuit career alongside their husbands just to afford a house (since they're competing with 50 million migrants and BlackRock for housing). Those jobs are also being stolen by Indians or eliminated with automation. Then again, most moms aren't even married because no-fault divorce incentivized them to leave the first time they have a fight or get attention from someone else or "just don't feel the spark anymore". That's of the women who are even having kids and not brainwashed into rabid pro-abortion anti-natalism and using progressive politics as a proxy for their normal maternal instincts. Then the most ludicrous statement of all: "privacy on a date"? What do you think it is, 1962? Privacy on a date is how you end up with false SA accusation and a ruined life before 20. A date in 2026 requires witnesses. Sworn affidavits of intent and consent, signed and notarized by her friends. Even then, if she remembers your date unfavorably a year from now you'll have to prove your innocence. If you can even manage to get someone out of the DM's and into the real world then the girl is going to insist on the most public venue possible anyway because her brain is filled with memes demonizing men as more dangerous than bears. The micro-managerialism and Civil-Rights era progressive slop that boomers invented and enforced around every aspect of our lives are why the kids now don't leave their rooms. Because their grandparents created the panopticon. "Why don't kids these days want to experience the manmade horrors we've created to torture and dehumanize them?" I don't know man, you tell me.
