Adult kids are moving back to their parents nest - for good!
Latest headlines are another titillating saga of how the screwed up humans have found a new reason to whine instead of thanksgiving all over again.
Before there was the anguish of the youth (kids and grand-kids) growing up and jumping on the capitalist bandwagon to explore borders beyond Columbus, Ohio or Manteca, California or Spokane, Washington. But now thanks to an unemployment picture resembling modern day depression there is no mountain to climb. So the gang that was expected to hike has instead pitched tents back in their own parent's yards.
Damn it! Now the costs are soaring all over again from cable TV to phone bills to food to whatever (never mind the inflation) these weirdos need. They are also not available to explain some of the charges since they are busy social networking with some other mindless youth stuck in their own blackholes.
You might think I am totally down on the current state of affairs and the state of the coddled youth and that is true to an extent. I think people are essentially getting more lazy across the planet (which in itself is not a bad thing) coupled with passing blame for their predicament (if they know they are in one) on to someone else other than themselves.
Airlines and others in the hospitality business are wondering if they will get whacked since all these so called home for the holiday crowds are already home? What about the food dudes? No they are not showing up with that extended and unexpected family at the local diners and burger joints but rediscovering their thanksgiving recipes to crank out some home made chow.
Could it be macaroni al dente with fresh corn? Apple cider with diet coke and a fruit cake for dessert?

good for humans and bad for businesses.
