This is a standard embittered old guy lament. But with a twist.
Hinderaker couples his disdain for “entitled” mediocre youngsters (exactly what he was, from about 1968 — until at least 2000 — after which he regressed, to be less capable than even the most mediocre lawyers of his day) to… wait for it! — the idea that too many kids are putting their faith in college educations!
R-i-i-i-i-i-ght.
While I might agree that the price of a college degree is out of line now, it is not the college experience itself that is creating these “useless kids” (in John’s estimation).
But he advises trade schools, like plumbing programs, as his salve.
I think it is much more about how poorly Hinderaker and his fellow MAGAts have raised this generation: these kids think that simply by accident of birth — being born in America — that they are entitled to treat the rest of the world like garbage — and demand anything they want… and get it.
Hinderaker did not work for his riches.
He inherited them from his bank-owning/lawyer father, in the Dakotas. So too, his admissions to Ivy league schools — and thus his avoidance of the Vietnam draft.
But in John’s silly world-view, it is college itself that has created all the spoiled brats — like him, in the USA.
Irony — thy name is… Hinderaker.
Out.
