#ChuckSchumer doesn't care

#Schumer doesn't care about #YoungPeople or #OldPeople or any part of #America

Schumer cares only about the geriatric white men of the #DemocraticNationalCommittee and his world-class #HealthCare and his lifetime #Pension and his personal #NetWorth

Schumer is gliding down, hanging from his #GoldenParachute, descending into the #GoldenYears of his retirement

That's all that matters now

The #UnitedStatesofAmerica can go suck eggs for all Chuck cares

Poynter: Poynter’s MediaWise and PBS launch AI literacy video series for teens. “Artificial intelligence is everywhere, from chatbots and search engines to video games and face-swap apps.

"Young Americans’ confidence in the apparatus of government has dropped dramatically to one of the lowest levels in any prosperous country, a Financial Times analysis of Gallup data shows.

The Gallup polls, conducted by surveying 70,000 people globally over the course of 2023 and 2024, found that less than a third of under-30s in the US trust the government. The proportion of US young people who said they lack freedom to choose what to do with their lives also hit a record high at 31 per cent in 2024 — a level worse than all other rich economies, bar Greece and Italy.

“[For younger people in the US] the future seems kind of bleak,” said Julie Ray, managing editor at Gallup.

While the Gallup poll does not cover the direct repercussions of US President Donald Trump’s second term, experts believe that rising political polarisation is likely to lead to a sharp drop in trust in future surveys.

Connor Brennan, a 25-year-old financial economics PhD student at the University of Chicago and a disillusioned Republican, said he trusted the “big figures” in politics “a little less” now than in the past.

“Friends, families these days are more and more torn apart by politics and seeing that [politics] taken as almost entertainment,” Brennan said. “It should be boring . . . it really has become more and more like, you watch the latest episode of the sitcom.”"

"When you work it all through, only 6% of #GenZ really support a #dictatorship, in any recognised sense of the term. The problem we seem to be facing is not a whole generation of autocratic young people but a complex question answered quickly in #onlinepolls and hugely overinterpreted in subsequent reporting.

There are nearly 1m young people (16-24) who are NEETs (not in education, employment or training), and while there is some discussion of reinvigorating youth employment support, we might also want to ask: why are young people NEET?

There's an issue of provision of support, but might this also be a sign of other socio-economic issues, like dissatisfaction wth the sorts of opportunities (in the gig economy for instance) that might be on offer?
