It's pretty rich for repeat plagarist Wente to churn out this lazy formulaic diatribe attacking the sloth and fragility of young people from her comfy tenured perch at the Globe. Especially given that it's her generation that's largely responsible for the precarious, unaffordable, and increasigly unstable life on this planet. Maybe you'd need a therapy dog too if you had to face this future. 

Even though Wente's work wouldn't merit a passing grade in a first year uni course, the Globe continues to publish her smug views because they appeal to the confirmation bias of its dwindling demographic of entitled boomers. You'd think Canada's newspaper of record would be trying to cultivate  a new generation of well-educated readers; instead it seems content to follow its current ones to the grave.
