The "boos" are an indication that kids finally understand who to blame. In a dark time, that's a ray of hope: the kids are alright.

> the kids finally understand who to blame

You do realise that “sticking it to the man” is something that kids are uniquely good at?

This isn’t something that’s only just happened in the last generation. It’s how society has operated since before we lived in caves.

The increased younger vote for Trump is a big part of our current set of problems.

Remember: Google was declared a monopoly by Bidens Justice department. We were setting up a system to break down monopolies and restore order to the market. Trump got rid of that.

The last batch of kids was blaming their job woes on mexicans, women, and authority figures delivering mild punishments for shouting trans slurs. This batch seems more upset with the billionaires or at least AI. That's a big improvement.

There is more than one kind of kid at a time.

And "graduated college" is a well document splitting variable for the clusters you mentioend.

		Mmmhmm, and tech workers tended to blame Indians instead of Mexcans, women were less keen on blaming women, the woke percent never went anywhere near 0, and Captain Obvious is a full time job. Observations about the general sentiment of a crowd do not in any way imply uniformity, and it's frankly a bit silly to pretend that they do and then get upset about it.

And they’re not going to do anything about it, just boo on command and go to work

		They might once they try to work and can't find any because the entry level positions have disappeared thanks to AI.

That statement makes sense for Eric Schmidt but not the random real estate executive. I'm pretty sure they're just taking their anger out at the nearest target

		lol the real estate executive celebrating how they've using "AI" to destroy the housing market is maybe not just the "nearest target"

		Before GenAI came for their jobs, real estate was more extractive on the younger generation and it wasn't close: the median financed phone is $30/mo while median rent is $1500/mo. We generally find RE less interesting here because it has a scale ceiling and low returns-to-intelligence (compare Elon Musk to Donald Trump) but it's the oldest hustle and it never went away.
