[QUOTE="SoonerP226, post: 3766348, member: 26737"] With the constant firehose of information (and misinformation and downright disinformation) that's being blasted at them 24/7, it's kind of amazing that they can pick out anything. First it's delta, then it's Afghanistan, then it's omicron, then it's inflation, then it's Ukraine, then it's gas prices, then it's the next big crisis, lather, rinse, and repeat. It's not like it was when we were kids, or even young adults, when all that stuff was happening, but only the really big stuff made the headlines or the nightly news. Now the 24/7 news cycle encourages talking heads to yammer incessantly about every little thing that happens, to the point that CNN really does stand for Confusing Nothing with News. Even if you're really paying attention, it's becoming ever more difficult to separate the wheat from the chaff--and that's without the complication of powerful urges driven by young hormones in a biological effort to perpetuate the species...
