We Americans need to take seriously the lived experiences of our Gen-Z citizens. We need to stop dismissing the Gen-Z folks as mere whiners. Our younger adults are experiencing real frustrations, the feedback they are giving us is important, and we need to start listening to what they are trying to tell us about life in today’s America. And then, together, all of us need to begin to redress the political, economic, academic, moral, and social mistakes of the last twenty years. If we still have hope for a saner society, then “All Americans First” should be our new motto.
