This is not new problem, but it looks like it's getting much, much worse.

I never did social media until after I retired a few years ago.
I noticed many people can't write either.

The dumbing down of our youth works very well toward enabling the leftists agenda.
Communism works best with large numbers of poor and uneducated people.
It does not work so well with a well educated and independent population.
The schools used to teach this back in the day.

Keep people dumb and unable to support themselves and they will be dependent forever.

I loved to read and write when I was younger.  I read everything and anything.  I loved reading so much that I would read with a flashlight under the blanket when mom told us to go to bed.

I don't think young ones even know what a flashlight is nowadays.  They just use their cellphone if they need light.

I still prefer a good book over TV or the internet.

Maybe we should require voting ballots to be in cursive.  :geekdanc:
