This is nonsense. Yes, younger people will have experienced social retardation due to the covid lockdowns. But by age 18-19 — which is what we’re talking about here, as these are just-graduated morons — your social development is mostly complete. You’re not still learning how to speak with people and hold their gaze. …

[It’s been about 17 years since I was a hiring manager, and I could see some of these same problems with millennials too. No one brought their mom or dad with them into an interview, but applicants had a lot of trouble making eye contact, using proper grammar and spelling on applications, and didn’t dress appropriately for the interview then, either. And even those who managed to get through an interview reasonably well had these same issues in job performance. This isn’t a COVID issue; it’s a fundamental failing in American education and formation. — Ed]
