We were talking about it one day and she said "My generation is tired of constantly going through life changing events, we just want some degree of normalcy in our lives". Her and her friends are a smart group of kids, they know baloney when they see or hear it, and have a real solid no nonsense middle class approach to life.

Exactly how my daughter sees it (23 y.o.). She and her friends are frustrated at missing their early 20s. Luckily, she did a semester abroad in Europe in the fall of 2019 and traveled all over the continent during the holidays, just steps (unbeknownst to her) ahead of the COVID outbreak. She returned home just a few weeks ahead of the wave. So at least she got that experience, which is priceless.
I get the frustration. I am so frustrated that I am willing to go to Atlantic City this summer, something I said I would never do again. But I am not going another year w/o a National. No way.
