"You can't always get what you want" seems to me - a gen x - to be a basic fact of life. But many millennial and gen z fight this as if it's a tool of oppression rather than a fact.

I know others have said that this is a consequence of my generation overreacting to being latch key kids and creating things like participation awards. That we created entitled kids that are unwilling to accept any reality that doesn't align with their desires.

This seems likely to me.

I don't know what to do about it.
